✨ celluloid(1) — the manual, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, welcome to celluloid(1), a page from the General Commands Manual 💖 yes that's the manual name, it's giving official. sit down, grab a boba, we're learning a media player 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

celluloid — a simple GTK+ frontend for mpv 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

celluloid [options...]  [filenames|URIs]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so. Celluloid is a simple GTK+ frontend for mpv. that's the whole vibe. 🍓

but here's the part that makes it iconic: Celluloid talks to mpv through the client API exported by libmpv, which means you get access to mpv's powerful playback capabilities — all of them, no cap. 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -?, -h, --help — shows you the help options. the classic "what do i even do here" button 🫶
• --new-window — if there's already an instance running, this makes a brand new window. and if there isn't one running? it literally does nothing. no effect. zero. 💀
• --enqueue — if there's a running instance, this appends the files or URIs you gave it to the playlist. if there's no running instance? again, no effect. the option said "not today" 🙈
• --mpv-MPVOPTION=VALUE — sets the mpv option MPVOPTION to VALUE. for example, --mpv-vf=vflip sets the mpv option vf to vflip. which is exactly the same as passing --vf=vflip straight to mpv. iykyk 🔥
• --version — prints the release version and dips. bye bestie 👋
