# sinek(1)

GTK+ based multimedia player

## NAME

sinek — GTK+ based multimedia player

## SYNOPSIS

**sinek \[OPTIONS\] \[MRL\]**

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the  **sinek** command.

This manual page was written for the **Debian GNU/Linux** distribution  because the original program does not have a manual page.

**sinek** is a program that is capable of  playing various audio and video files.  It is an alternative frontend  to xine-ui, and supports all the formats that libxine supports.

The displaying of subtitles, located in files separate from the  MRL, is supported by adding :\<file\> after the MRL; for example,  **sinek foo.avi:foo.srt**, where foo.srt is the  file containing subtitles.
