How to Use Playlist Actions in SMPlayer - Created Date Playlist

SMPlayer is a powerful and flexible media player that offers numerous customization options. One of these features is playlist actions, which allow users to automate tasks with their playlists. In this article, we will explore how to use playlist actions in SMPlayer and create a custom playlist by created date.

To start using playlist actions, you need to know the various commands available in SMPlayer. These commands can be used to perform actions such as closing the main window when the file or playlist finishes playing, switching between full-screen and compact modes, and more.

When using playlist actions, quotes are necessary if you pass more than one action. For example, you can use the command `smplayer -actions 'fullscreen compact true'` to execute multiple actions at once. The actions will be executed in the order they appear in the list, just after loading the file or playlist.

The `-actions` option is a list of actions separated by spaces. If any of these actions fail, SMPlayer will return an error code of -1. Any additional options provided with this command will be ignored and the application will exit.

One of the most useful features of playlist actions is the ability to send actions to another running instance of SMPlayer. This can be achieved using the `-remote` option, which specifies the directory for the configuration files (smplayer.ini, smplayer_files.ini).

In addition to playlist actions, SMPlayer also offers a range of other customization options. For example, you can use the `-gui` option to specify whether you want to open the full MPlayer GUI or a mini version.

SMPlayer is based on Qt and uses mplayer as its backend, making it one of the most powerful media players available. By mastering playlist actions in SMPlayer, you can streamline your media playback experience and enjoy greater control over your music and video playlists.
