[MPlayer-users] Documentation suggestion for slave mode commands

[Lars Lynch]

I would like to suggest a few changes to the
documentation regarding the slave mode commands.

The current man page documentation reads:

seek <value> [type=<0/1/2>]
pt_step <value> [force=<value>]
osd [level=<value>]
frame_drop [type=<value>]

I think it should read:

seek <value> [<type>]
pt_step <value> [<force>]
osd [<level>]
frame_drop [<type>]

or:

seek <value> [<0/1/2>]
pt_step <value> [<value>]
osd [<value>]
frame_drop [<value>]

The HTML documentation should be changed in a similar
fashion.

Maybe nobody else interprets these instructions like I
did, but I spent a day banging my head against the
wall, looking through source code, thinking the
correct commands were:

seek 2 type=0
osd level=1

when they are in fact:

seek 2 0
osd 1

I suppose you could also update the command parser to
recognize the command "seek 2 type=0", but it is
probably more involved.
