ok i have mplayer installed and apparently working right. video streams play from websites in galeon and the very same clips play with out issue from the local hard drive when downloaded and opened with the "open with" thingy when told to and told to remember the app that opened it all i have to do is doubble click on them and away they go.

BUT, when trying to use gmplayer i get this in the console:


[root@vegeta root]# gmplayer

and then nothing happens, useing the system monitor shows the prossess goes to sleep. but if i close the console window i get the usual mplayer crashed yada yada messages.

im at a loss as to how to get the gui workin right. yea yea i know just use the command line but im to lazy to learn all the options and i like the eye candy, it helps sell systems that have linux on them to windows freaks : P

any ideas?

Didn't you read the installation guide? It doesn't look like it, if you did, go re-read it. It clearly tells you what to do.

If you are still at a loss, post again I suppose.

ok smartass what about the gui.conf file just where is that at?

updated shell output since tinkering:

You wil need to grab the Default skin from mplayers website and place that in your /usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin directory (more info on that can be found with a search, but if you have problems feel free to post em up). After you install the Default Skin you can then choose different skins from there, from within the gui.

Cool

i see said the blind man lol

thanx

ok did that and no effect . how can i tell if my mplayer.conf file is being parsed or not?

nevermind the last ,wasnt reading the output right lol,

how silly i feel for nameing the config file wrong and expecting it to werk! lol. bad case of RTFM on my part

works great now that i re-named the config file "config" like it was to begin with.

but thanx for the rapid response as always

So it's working?

Cool

yep, dont know why i renamed the configfile, i dont remember, i think to keep my boy from easyly watching adult vids or something but hes back at his moms now so away we go lol
