🌸 NAME 🌸

gmerlin — literally the Gmerlin Player, that's the whole name, that's the vibe 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

🌈 GENERIC OPTIONS 🌈

these ones are the universal besties — they work across all gmerlin applications, not just this one 👑

• -help — print this help message and then dip out ✌️
• -help-man — print this help message formatted as a manual page and exit 📖
• -help-texi — print this help message in texinfo format and exit 📝

🎀 FILES 🎀

• ~/.gmerlin/plugins.xml — the cache of the plugin registry, and it's shared by all applications so like, everyone's using the same one 🤝
• ~/.gmerlin/player/cfg.xml — this is where configuration data lives. delete this file if you think you goofed something up 🙈 (yes really, that's the advice, and honestly? iconic)
• ~/.gmerlin/player/tree/tree.xml — the media tree gets saved right here 🌳 and the albums are saved as separate files in the same directory</> 🎵

psst bestie — that cfg.xml delete tip is straight from the source, not me being chaotic. goofed it up? yeet the file. slay 💅
