MPlayer Tools

MPlayer Tools is a collection of utilities that eases the use of MPlayer. If you have a TV tuner, you can use MPlayer Tools to record and timeshift easily.

MPlayer Tools also remembers movies and positions, so you can resume a movie with a short command. It can also detect movie series, counts the episodes, and you can specify specific MPlayer options for every movie series.
