smplayer -actions "fullscreen compact true" file.mp4

console output:
This is SMPlayer v. 17.2.0 (revision 8426) running on Linux
Error: expected parameter for -actions

Problem in zsh. Some option does not allow the program to run. In pure zsh, everything works.

But we can not jump to the right place. I tried:
smplayer -actions "jump_to 00:02:43" file.mp4 and smplayer -actions "jump_to=00:02:43". Not working.

you can add ?
smplayer -actions "jump_to=00:02:43"

If it is difficult then you can do this:
smplayer -jumpto 00:23:34 file.mp4

What do you think ?

I have smplayer 18.6.0 for Windows 10 and no command line options work inside file properties to position a file at some offset from the start. -actions doesn't work and -jumpto doesn't work. Please help.

Currently there are no actions for that.

That's not nice. When will this functionality be added?

I don't know. "Actions" basically emulate keystrokes, so it would be necessary to implement something different.

I believe that every other major video player in existence supports starting and ending at given positions via the command line. SMPlayer is in my experience better in almost every way as compared to other players. It deserves to have its own true command line.
