DESCRIPTION
       SMPlayer is a GUI media player based on Qt 4, using mplayer(1) as its
       backend.

OPTIONS
       -minigui
              Open the mini GUI instead of the default one.

       -mpcgui
              Open the mpc GUI instead of the default one.

       -defaultgui
              Open the default gui.

       -config-path <directory>
              Specify the directory for the configuration files (smplayer.ini,
              smplayer_files.ini...).

       -send-action <action_name>
              Try to make a connection to another running instance and send to
              it the specified action.

              Example: smplayer -send-action pause

              The rest of options (if any) will be ignored and the application
              will exit. It will return 0 on success or -1 on failure.

       -actions <action_list>
              <action_list> is a list of actions separated by spaces. The
              actions will be executed just after loading the file (if any) in
              the same order as input. For switchable actions you can pass
              true or false as parameter.

              Example: smplayer -actions.br "fullscreen compact true"

              Quotes are necessary in case you pass more than one action.

       -close-at-end
              Close the main window when the file/playlist finishes.

       -no-close-at-end
              Do not close the main window when the file/playlist finishes.

       -fullscreen
              Play the video in fullscreen mode.

       -no-fullscreen
              Play the video in windowed mode.

       -sub   Specify the subtitle file to be loaded (for the first video
              only).

       -pos <x> <y>
              Specify the coordinates where the main window will be displayed.

       -size <width> <height>
              Specify the size of the main window.

       -h, -help, --help, -?
              Show the help message and then exit.

       -add-to-playlist
              If there is another instance running, the media will be added to
              that instance's playlist. If there is no other instance, this
              option will be ignored and the files will be opened in a new
              instance.

       <media1> <media2> ...
              Any kind of file that SMPlayer can open. It can be a local file,
              a DVD (e.g. dvd://1), an Internet stream (e.g. mms://....) or a
              local playlist in format m3u or pls. If the -playlist option is
              used, that means that SMPlayer will pass the -playlist option to
              MPlayer, so MPlayer will handle the playlist, not SMPlayer.
