Thanks, Aaron! Wow. Mpv is a great improvement over QuickTime, to say the least. Works beautifully. And I can take this to Linux or apparently even Windows. I learned that I can watch progress by seconds in the command line, and start/stop it at will, in a keystroke, without moving the pointer into the audience’s view. That barely scratches the surface of things you can do from the command line: you name it, they’ve got it. But it may be all I need. Mac Install: https://coalgirls.wakku.to/faq/playback/compiling-mpv-on-mac-os-x (It worked, in spite of “errors”) Manpage: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/mpv.1.html ( > 8k lines ) Thanks again, Victor ________________ On Sep 17, 2017, at 22:01:56, Aaron Jones wrote: Mpv from the command line.

Also, a visual control bar is friendlier if a non-techie is running it, but we don’t want to clutter the movie. > > My usual search expression vocabulary has abandoned me in this case, maybe because the feature I’m looking for is not of interest for most users so doesn’t get mentioned in reviews. > > I’m doing it on a Macbook, but I might try a Linux guest (or even windows as last resort) if that’s the only answer. > > Thanks, > Victor Odhner > > > --------------------------------------------------- > PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org > To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: > http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
