I'm talking about this video player. Subtitles can be added when starting the video, but if I want to add subtitle files after starting to play the video, I'd have to use a gui file manager and drag and drop the subtitle file. But I'm using ranger CLI file manager. So, it's annoying for me that I have to fire up a huge gui application and wait for 3 seconds every time I want to add subtitles to a video I'm playing. And please don't tell me to always keep the gui file manager opened up.



So, I want a method to add subtitles from terminal to the already running mpv instance. How do I do that?




command-line mpv

  • cp filmX.srt /dir/with/filmX.mkv & press j.

  • Would you mind using ~/Videos/file.mkv and ~/Videos/file.srt as example?

    If the video and sub file are already in the same directory, then just press j to toggle subs while you are watching...

  • but that requires the sub and video files to be of same name. What if that is not the case?

    Then you need to mv filmY.srt flimX.srt... They must be the same name. Either that, or start mpv with mpv filmX.mkv --sub-file filmY.srt

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
