NAME
cmplayer - application for playback of continuous media
SYNOPSIS
cmplayer [options] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
Cmplayer is an application for the playback of video and
audio data. It is a Tcl/Tk script that requires a cmwish
binary (a wish linked with the CMT Toolkit) in order to exe-
cute.
If a filename is supplied, cmplayer attempts to open that
file for playback. The following formats can be played by
the cmplayer:
CMT movie scripts
Sun/Next .au files
MPEG encoded video files
If the file ~/.cmplayerrc exists, it is sourced as a Tcl
script at startup. It is often useful to change directories
or set options in this file.
