showtime — watch without distraction, bestie. no chaos, just vibes ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

showtime [OPTION…] [VIDEO FILES]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: you wanna play your fave movies and video files and you just... do. no hassle, no fighting with a million menus, none of that. that's the whole showtime vibe 💅

Showtime's got simple playback controls that fade out of your way when you're watching (yes, they literally get out of the frame so the movie can be the main character 👑), plus fullscreen, adjustable playback speed, multiple language and subtitle tracks, and screenshots — like, everything you need for a straightforward viewing experience. it's giving "I just want to watch my show in peace" and honestly? same 🍓

you can also set showtime as the default video player in GNOME, or just launch the app and open the video file. either way, we're so back 🌸

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -h, --help — show help options. the classic "wait what do I type" rescue 🫶
• --help-all — show all the help options. the deluxe version, no crumbs left behind 😌
• --help-gapplication — show GApplication options specifically. for when you need the GApplication lore 🧚
• --gapplication-service — enter GApplication service mode (use from D-Bus service files). iykyk 💀
• -n, --new-window — open the app with a new window. more windows = more movie nights, no cap 🔥
