 +MPlayer playback / resume position script
 +
 + This PHP script will save the playback position of a file
 + you watch with MPlayer. ​ Once you start playing the same file
 + again, it will resume from last playback position.
 +
 + The *only* way this script will work is if you pass the
 + "​get_time_pos"​ command to MPlayer through an input event,
 + mapped by either LIRC or the keyboard.
 +
 + The script captures the output and saves it to a file in
 + the playback directory for each media file.
 +
 + See http://​www.mplayerhq.hu/​DOCS/​tech/​slave.txt for more
 + commands that work on both backends.
 +
 +Installation:​
 +
 + To execute this program, either call it using the PHP
 + binary, or make it executable. Whichever you like best. :)
 +
 + $ php mplayer-resume movie.avi
 +
 + # cp mplayer-resume /​usr/​local/​bin/​
 + # chmod +x /​usr/​local/​bin/​mplayer-resume
 + $ mplayer-resume --filename movie.avi
 +
 + The script should parse any arguments that you want to send
 + mplayer at the same time, regardless of whether you start
 + it as a standalone program or with php.
 +
 + Standalone:​
 + $ mplayer-resume --filename movie.avi -vo xv
 +
 + With php:
 + $ php mplayer-resume --filename movie.avi -vo xv
 +
 +Syntax:
 +
 + mplayer-resume --filename <​filename>​ [options] [mplayer options]
 +
 + As of v2.0, the syntax has changed. ​ Previously, mplayer-resume
 + would attempt to guess the correct filename, but in cases of movies
 + with spaces in the file, it would cause problems. ​ Now, you must
 + define the filename manually with the --filename argument.
 +
 +MPlayer optional arguments:
 +
 + You can still pass all the normal arguments you would normally use
 + when running mplayer. ​ They will be passed to the command line
 + after mplayer-resume has added it's own.
 +
 + $ mplayer-resume --filename "My movie.mkv"​ -vo xv -fs -ao sdl
 +
 + The *only* extra arguments that this script will add to your
 + mplayer command is -ss to seek to resume a file, and
 + -quiet so it can correctly grab the output.
 +
 + The script will also strip out any commands that are known to
 + break the output. ​ Currently the only one being stripped is
 + "​-really-quiet"​.
 +
 +Optional arguments:
 +
 + Currently, mplayer-resume only supports one extra argument, a 
 + small feature added to the script to scratch a personal itch of mine.
 +
 + Passing --use-dir-conf to mplayer-resume will look for a file named
 + "​mplayer.conf"​ in the same directory of the filename you are playing,
 + and if one exists, it will pass "​-include <​filename>"​ to the mplayer
 + binary.
 +
 + This is just a little workaround to add a feature that mplayer doesn'​t
 + currently implement. :)
 +
 +LIRC:
 +
 + Setup your ~/.lircrc file to do three things when you hit
 + the stop button:
 +
 + 1) Get the time position
 + 2) Get the filename
 + 3) Stop playing
 +
 + Here'​s an example configuration:​
 +
 + begin
 + prog = mplayer
 + button = stop
 + config = get_time_pos
 + end
 + begin
 + prog = mplayer
 + button = stop
 + config = get_filename
 + end
 + begin
 + prog = mplayer
 + button = stop
 + config = quit
 + end
 +
 + You can of course map any button on your remote that you'd like
 + to use this function for.
 +
 +Keyboard:
 +
 + Map a key with ~/​.mplayer/​input.conf to run '​get_time_pos'​
 +
 + Sample entry:
 +
 + g get_time_pos
 +
 + When you want to save the position, hit '​g',​ and then '​q'​
 + to quit playback.
 +
 + You can also do it manually using mplayer'​s slave mode,
 + which is useful for debugging:
 +
 + $ mplayer -slave -quiet movie.avi
 + get_time_pos
 + quit
 +
 +Configuration:​
 +
 + This script will save a text file for each media file you
 + watch using this script. ​ The text files are saved in the
 + config variable $save_files_to defined in the script, which
 + must be a directory that this script can read / write to.
 +
 + The script will try to automatically create a directory, and
 + uses /​home/​username/​.mplayer/​resume/​ by default.
 +
 +MythTV:
 +
 + If you are using MythVideo (http://​www.mythtv.org/​) and want to
 + use mplayer-resume as your playback script instead of mplayer,
 + it's easy to setup.
 +
 + From the main menu, go to:
 +
 + Utilities/​Setup
 + Video Settings
 + Player Settings
 +
 + Change the entry for Default Player to:
 +
 + mplayer-resume %s
 +
 + Please note that you *do not* need to put quotes around the
 + filename (as of v0.20.x), as MythTV will do it by itself.
 +
 + You can of course add any other extra MPlayer arguments as you
 + normally may here.
 +
 + mplayer-resume -fs -vo xv -aspect 16/9 %s
 +
 +Notes:
 +
 + If your CLI version of PHP is dumping version information
 + each time it runs, add -q to the top line to supress the
 + output.
 +
 + #​!/​usr/​bin/​php -q
 +
 +Bugs:
 +
 + Doesn'​t save cwd with the file, so you can only have one
 + entry per filename
 +
 +Help:
 +
 + If you get stuck, don't hesitate to contact me.
