what does prased 57 binds?
I edit the input.conf file to enable gui all the time....
I edit the the mplayer.conf file to the right path to the skin...
don't know where to get the gui conf file?
hmmm what am I doing wrong.

2 things:

1. you appear to be running it as root - what happens when you run as a user?

2. which command do you use to run MPlayer? is it mplayer or gmplayer?

Actually, as a possible 3rd issue - I had the same problem - it worked fine on the command line but not as a gui - that was under SuSE 9 Pro. And I couldn't get it fixed.

Yup it works for command line but the gui won't work now. I tweaked it to come up in gui only and now the command line won't work.... Yup tried to run it as a user but I get that same problem......

I think (and I have no proof of this) that it is a bug in the latest version. I even tried creating the gui.conf file to try to force the system to work - but to no avail.

I wonder if anyone has got the latest version to work?

so what is going wrong is the skin not loading? or what does the parsed: 57 binds MEAN?
