The menu button will show the main menu of the player. Here, you can control practically the whole application:
Chapters in gmerlin are just seekpoints with optional labels.
If an input plugin supports chapters (e.g. of DVDs), gmerlin will
make them available through the chapter menu.
If the upper menu item is enabled and the video window isn't used otherwise, Visualizations will be turned on. The audio stream of an Audio/video track can be visualized by disabling the video stream of that file (See Configuring playback pipelines).
Then you can set some plugin-independent options
and finally the plugin itself
. The menu for visualization plugin works exactly the same as for output plugins
(See Configuring playback pipelines).
Here, you can show or hide the Log window, the
Track info window and the Media tree.
Here, you can set Preferences
, configure Input plugins
, select
skins or configure the Keyboard daemon.
Here you have some commonly used commands. The good news about the shortcuts is, that they work in the media tree and in the video window as well.
Only exception are the shortcuts, which map to ASCII-characters (Pause and Seek to start), they don't work in the media tree and in albums.
Use this menu as a quick-help for all global
shortcuts.
Here, you can conventiently fire up some other gmerlin applications like the GUI Transcoder, the Visualizer and the Alsamixer.
