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

Mpv from the command line.

Then all the controls work off the command line or the minimal gui.

Is there a video player that can display a video on one monitor (a projector), with the control bar on the other monitor?

Keyboard controls help, but for example I want to see where I am in the program, and if it’s running, if in a static splash screen. 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,
