<para>

<command>&cmd;</command> is a Java program based on Java Media Framework.

<command>&cmd;</command> supports synchronization, control, processing, and

presentation of compressed streaming and stored time-based media, including

video, audio and MIDI across all Java-enabled platforms.

<command>&cmd;</command> uses

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>gconftool-2</refentrytitle>

<manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>,

if available, to identify the proxy host and proxy port to access a URL outside

the firewall.

</para>

<para>

The <command>&cmd;</command> GUI consists of File, Player, and Help pull-down

menus. You can use the File menu to Start new player, Open File, Open URL,

select a recently opened media URL, Close Player, or Exit jmplay. The Player

menu has options to Auto Play, Auto Rewind, and Loop. The Help menu provides a

Content option which you can use to access the online help files.
