How can I Display a Progress Bar in mplayer?
Is there a way to display a progress bar in mplayer (running without a gui)?
(I'm launching the mplayer command from the terminal like $ mplayer video.avi
.)
Or is there simply any kind of percentage information like total video length, relation to already played chunk, or something like this?
thanks.:)
Ok. I figured out that one can press o button to toggle OSD (On-Screen Display) and that shows video length/played length.
You can press P
(that is, Shift+p) to temporarily display the progress bar and elapsed time/total time (it disappears after about 1 second).
You can also use command line switch -osdlevel <0-3>
or put it into ~/.mplayer/config
:
[default]
osdlevel = 2
