NAME

Audio::Play::MPlayer - a frontend to play audio files using MPlayer

SYNOPSIS

    use Audio::Play::MPlayer;

    # same as Audio::Play::MPG123
    $player = Audio::Play::MPlayer->new;
    $player->load( "ex-mp30.mp3" );
    print $player->title, "\n";
    $player->poll( 1 ) until $player->state == 0;

DESCRIPTION

This module acts as a frontend to an external MPlayer process started with the -slave command-line option. The idea and interface (and in part the code) has been taken from Audio::Play::MPG123.

Please see Audio::Play::MPG123 for the documentation. Take into account that the methods:

    copyrighted
    emphasis
    error_protected
    extension
    layer
    mode
    mode_extension
    stat
    statfreq
    type
    url
    IN

have not been implemented, and that:

    jump
    tpf

work differently: jump takes offsets in seconds, and tpf always returns 1 to make it possible to write:

    $player->jump( 60 / $player->tpf );
