% dtas-console(1) dtas user manual # NAME dtas-console - rudimentary curses console client for dtas-player # SYNOPSIS dtas-console # DESCRIPTION dtas-console displays the elapsed decoder time of the track, which can be used as an approximation of the current playback time of a track. It cannot display an accurate playback time due to variable buffering in the sinks and pipes. See dtas-player_protocol(7) for a detailed description of the protocol. # KEYBOARD CONTROL Key bindings are inspired partially by mplayer(1) - 'j'/'k' - seek backward/forward 5 seconds - LEFT/RIGHT - seek backward/forward 10 seconds - UP/DOWN - seek forward/backward 1 minute - PGUP/PGDWN - seek forward/backward 10 minutes - SPACE - toggle play/pause state of the playback - 'p'/'P' - decrease/increase timer resolution - BACKSPACE - seek to the beginning of the track - Ctrl-C - exit dtas-console # ENVIRONMENT DTAS_PLAYER_SOCK - the path to the dtas-player control socket. This defaults to ~/.dtas/player.sock # SEE ALSO dtas-player(1), dtas-player_protocol(7), dtas-ctl(1), dtas-sinkedit(1), dtas-sourceedit(1)
