mpv:tldr:0cf2c

mpv: Play a file at a specified speed (0.01 to 100, default 1).
$ mpv --speed ${speed} ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "mpv --speed ${speed} ${filename}" is used to play a media file using the mpv media player with a specified speed.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "mpv" refers to the name of the media player program.
  • "--speed" is an option or flag for mpv that allows you to specify the playback speed.
  • "${speed}" is a placeholder for the desired playback speed value. It's expected to be replaced with an actual numeric value when running the command.
  • "${filename}" is a placeholder for the name or path of the media file you want to play. It's also expected to be replaced with an actual file name or path.

When you run this command with the placeholders replaced, it will launch the mpv player and play the specified media file at the specified speed.
