Play Quicktime movie from Terminal


Is there a possibility to play a Quicktime movie (.mov) file from the command line (i.e., Terminal)?

I haven't found a way to achieve this. I could do it with an Automator script but it would be nicer if I can run it directly from the Terminal.


Solution

  • open movie_file_name.mov
    

    will open the default player from the terminal.
