+# If you run into problems with this script, please send me email
+
+# PURPOSE:
+# --------------------------
+# This is a wrapper script that tries to find the best parameters
+# for calling an underlying video player. The outer layer determines
+# the best playback parameters, while the inner layer picks the best
+# player to call.
+
+# RATIONALE:
+# --------------------------
+# Default video playback options are not optimal on all hardware or
+# for all video types. In addition, common video players do not
+# offer to bookmark video so that you can resume where you left off.
+# Both of these problems can be addressed by this wrapper.
+
+# PARAMETERS:
+# --------------------------
+# The same parameters you'd use for mplayer, some of which may be
+# translated automatically for use with smplayer.
+
+# FILES:
+# --------------------------
+# $mediafile, the file to play
+

+
+ # mplayer evaluates configuration options in the following order, with
+ # later-evaluated options overriding earlier-evaluated ones, both within
+ # a given configuration location and between them:
+ # 1) system-wide configuration/profiles, /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf
+ # 2) user-specific configuration/profiles, ~/.mplayer/config
+ # 3) commandline configuration parameters
+ # 4) file-specific configuration, ~/.mplayer/[filename].conf
+ # 5) any nonstandard configuration file, included via "-include" parameter
+ #
+ # This script's dynamic configuration options fall in at 2.5 above,
+ # so commandline options, file-specific configuration options,
+ # or a nonstandard configuration file will override the options that
+ # the script creates, but system-wide and user-specific configuration
+ # will be overridden by the dynamic configuration options.
+ #
+ # This is sub-optimal, as the easiest way for a user to compensate for
+ # a misfiring configuration rule would be to override it in a configuration
+ # file. Instead, they will have to change the way they run this script.
