mmp:exit

X-iting the app

There are four ways to exit MMP: Minimalist Media Player: three are manual, one is automatic.

Control Action
[X] e[X]its whichever view you are in.
If you're in the Image & Thumbnail Browser, you will exit back to the main window*.
If you're in the main window in Fullscreen mode, you will exit back to the normal window mode.
If you're in the main window, you will exit the app.
Ctrl [X] e[X]its the Image & Thumbnail Browser back to the main window, ignoring the exitBrowser= setting1)
[Esc] operates the same as [X] but even more so.
For example, if you are viewing the Release Notes [What's New?] button from the About Box (Ctrl [A]), you can [Esc] all the way out of the app.
Ctrl [0] The ultimate exit key: this closes all running instances of MMP immediately, regardless of which view they're in.

* As of v4.0.1, exiting the Image & Thumbnail Browser depends on whether the exitBrowser=exitApp setting has been set in the MinimalistMediaPlayer.conf file.

If MMP gets to the end of the playlist2), it will exit automatically.
The only exceptions to this rule are if

  • you have set MMP to auto-repeat every item, Ctrl [R], or
  • the last item in the playlist is an image and you have set MMP to display all images indefinitely.

In either case, MMP will continue to replay the final audio or video file, or display the final image, until you manually tell it to move on.
In which case, in the main window, when viewing the final item in a playlist, pressing any key which instructs MMP to Play Next will exit the app.3)
