DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly  the silverjuke command.  It can be used to play and organize your
       music collection.

OPTIONS

       This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes ('-').
       silverjuke supports the following options:

       --ini=FILE
              set the configuration file to use to FILE

       --jukebox=FILE
              set the jukebox file to use to FILE

       --temp=DIRECTORY
              set the temporary directory to use to DIRECTORY

       --play start playing the current file

       --pause
              pause the playback

       --toggle
              toggle play/pause

       --prev play previous file in list

       --next play next file in list

       --kiosk
              start Silverjuke in kiosk mode

       --minimize
              start Silverjuke minimized

       --open FILES
              open the given FILES, --open may be omitted

       --enqueue FILES
              enqueue the given FILES

       --help Show all available commands

       --addcredit=NUM
              Adds the number of credits (tracks that may be enqueued) to the credit system.  This  option  only
              works  if  the  option  "Credits  may  be added by external programs" is enabled in the kiosk mode
              settings.

       --setcredit=NUM
              Sets the number of credits.  This option only works  if  the  option  "Credits  may  be  added  by
              external programs" is enabled in the kiosk mode settings.

       --skiperrors
              With  this  option  you  can  avoid  showing  errors  about  an  erroneous termination on the last
              Silverjuke run. This is especially useful when  turning  off  Silverjuke  using  the  "Power  off"
              button,  as  in  this  case  the  operating  system may not give us the time we need to unload all
              modules completely.

       --instance=INI-FILE
              If you give a different INI-file to each instance, you can use multiple  instances  of  Silverjuke
              with  this option. All settings for each instance are stored in the INI-file, so the instances are
              completely independent; however, make sure, there are no conflicts regarding  the  used  hardware.
              You  can  give  the  INI-files  as  complete paths; if the files do not exist, they are created as
              needed.

              If you want to use different music libraries for each instance, you have to use the --jukebox=FILE
              option as described above.

       --update
              This will automatically update the index as if you hit F5 just after starting Silverjuke.  If  you
              use  this  option  in  combination  with  --kiosk  and  the  kiosk  mode  is  running with limited
              functionality, the update process cannot be aborted.

       --kioskrect=DISPLAY|X,Y,W,H[,clipmouse]
              With this option you can force the Silverjuke window to the given rectangle when using  the  kiosk
              mode.  This is useful if you want to show sth. beside the Silverjuke window (by default, the whole
              screen is used).

              Moreover, if you add the "clipmouse" modifier,  the  mouse  cannot  be  moved  outside  the  given
              rectangle. Instead of X,Y,W,H you can also give a simple DISPLAY number, the first display has the
              number 1.

       --visrect=DISPLAY|X,Y,W,H
              Assign a static portion of the screen to the visualization. Instead of X,Y,W,H you can also give a
              simple DISPLAY number, the first display has the number 1.

       --blackrect=DISPLAY|X,Y,W,H[;DISPLAY|X,Y,W,H;...]
              Areas  to cover by black rectangles. Instead of X,Y,W,H you can also give a simple DISPLAY number,
              the first display has the number 1.

       --volup
              increase the main volume

       --voldown
              decrease the main volume

       --togglevis
              toggle the selected visualizations on and off

       --execute=SCRIPT_OR_FILE
              Execute the given script snippet or file. With this command line option you are  able  to  execute
              any  little script by the command line. For scripting details, please refer to the Silverjuke SDK.
              Instead of using the command line for this purpose, you can also use DDE,  which,  however,  is  a
              little bit more tricky.

       Although  there  is  always  only  one instance of Silverjuke running, you may call Silverjuke with these
       commands which will then be forwarded to the running instance if possible.

       You can set the "db", "temp", "kiosk" and "minimize" options also manually to the  current  configuration
       file (ini file) in the section "main".

       Most commands are also available through TCP/IP communication.
