30Welcome to SMPlayer _VERSION_ _BUILD_ for OS/2 and eComStation.
31
32SMPlayer is a GUI front-end for MPlayer, a command-line movie player that is
33available for many systems and supports a wide range of formats and codecs,
34either natively or via Win32 DLL codecs. For instance, you can watch VideoCD,
35SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX 3/4/5, WMV, and even H.264 movies.
36
37SMPlayer intends to be a complete front-end for MPlayer, from basic features
38like playing videos, DVDs, and VCDs to more advanced features like support for
39MPlayer filters and more.
40
41One of the most interesting features of SMPlayer: it remembers the settings of
42all files you play. So you start to watch a movie but you have to leave...
43don't worry, when you open that movie again it will resume at the same point
44you left it, and with the same settings: audio track, subtitles, volume...
45
46Other additional interesting features:
47
48 * Configurable subtitles. You can choose font and size, and even colors for
49 the subtitles.
50 * Audio track switching. You can choose the audio track you want to listen.
51 Works with avi and mkv. And of course with DVDs.
52 * Seeking by mouse wheel. You can use your mouse wheel to go forward or
53 backward in the video.
54 * Video equalizer, allows you to adjust the brightness, contrast, hue,
55 saturation and gamma of the video image.
56 * Multiple speed playback. You can play at 2X, 4X... and even in slow motion.
57 * Filters. Several filters are available: deinterlace, postprocessing,
58 denoise... and even a karaoke filter (voice removal).
59 * Audio and subtitles delay adjustment. Allows you to sync audio and
60 subtitles.
61 * Advanced options, such as selecting a demuxer or video & audio codecs.
62 * Playlist. Allows you to enqueue several files to be played one after each
63 other. Autorepeat and shuffle supported too.
64 * Preferences dialog. You can easily configure every option of SMPlayer by
65 using a nice preferences dialog.
66 * Possibility to search automatically for subtitles in opensubtitles.org.
67 * Translations: currently SMPlayer is translated into more than 20 languages,
68 including Spanish, German, French, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Japanese....
69 * It's multiplatform. Binaries available for Windows, Linux, and now OS/2.
70 * SMPlayer is under the GPL license.
