How to get file-information with MPlayer

noware · 11-20-2007, 07:44 AM

Hi All,

I would like to get file-information with MPlayer without actually play the file. I mean I would like MPlayer to print the info it prints when it starts to play the file and don't play it, but quit after all info has been written out. I've read the man pages several times, but somehow I can't find it.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

You can use the "-endpos 0" option (means for mplayer to play 0 seconds of the media file)

Ahha! Good idea! And of course, works!
