NAME
Totem - GNOME desktop movie player based on GStreamer SYNOPSIS
totem [option...] [filenames|URI] DESCRIPTION
Totem is a movie player for the GNOME desktop. Through use of the GStreamer backend many popular file and streaming formats are supported including: MPEG audio and video (MP3/MPV), Ogg, AVI, ASF, MOV, WMV, QuickTime, and more. Playing of DVD and VCD media is also possible. Although primarily intended as a movie player, Totem can also play many audio formats. For additional documentation on interactive use of Totem select the Help menu option. The menus allow access to some features not avail- able through keybindings or command-line options. OPTIONS
-?, --help Output a longer help message then quit. (Any discrepancies between this man page and the output of totem --help should be reported as a documentation bug.) --version Output version information then quit. The following options command an already-running instance of Totem to do something; they are useful for remote-control scripting. If Totem is not already running, these commands will launch a new instance of Totem but will not do anything further. --play-pause Tell an already-running instance of Totem to toggle between play and pause. --play Tell an already-running instance of Totem to play (has no effect if already playing) --pause Tell an already-running instance of Totem to pause (has no effect if already paused) --next Tell an already-running instance of Totem to skip to the next movie or chapter in the playlist. --previous Tell an already-running instance of Totem to return to the previous movie or chapter in the playlist. --seek-fwd Tell an already-running instance of Totem to seek forwards 15 seconds in the current movie. --seek-bwd Tell an already-running instance of Totem to seek backwards 15 seconds in the current movie. --volume-up Tell an already-running instance of Totem to raise the volume by 8%. --volume-down Tell an already-running instance of Totem to lower the volume by 8%. --fullscreen Tell an already-running instance of Totem to toggle fullscreen mode. --toggle-controls Tell an already-running instance of Totem to toggle showing the controls. --quit Tell an already-running instance of Totem to quit. --enqueue filename|URI Tell an already-running instance of Totem to add a new stream to the playlist. --replace filename|URI Tell an already-running instance of Totem to play from the playlist.
