How can I Display a Progress Bar in mplayer?

  • 772

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.:)

command-line

    Ok. I figured out that one can press o button to toggle OSD (On-Screen Display) and that shows video length/played length.

  2. 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).

  3. You can also use command line switch -osdlevel <0-3>

    or put it into ~/.mplayer/config:

    [default]
osdlevel = 2
