Hi shruggy. I don't want to create a github.com account just to report such a minor issue. I will leave it be. Thanks.

Start playing immediately after start. Can be followed by:
`f' in fullscreen mode,
`F' in xinerama fullscreen mode,
`h' hide GUI (main panel, etc...),
`w' hide video output window,
`q' for quitting after playback,
It is also possible to request the playlist from DVD `d', or VCD `v'. There is now a more generic option, --auto-scan, for that (see below).

I've tried xine before - seems like a very flaky program.

If anyone else solves it, please post here, thank you.

That's because you have to tell gnome mpv that it's an mpv option with what I put in bold above.

Hi FF. Am I correct in saying that the code must go into '~/.config/gnome-mpv/mpv.conf'? I'm sorry but I'm not clear on exactly what to put there to solve the thread.

How exactly did you pass the options, and how exactly did it fail?
Show us all the output.

ondoho, if you don't want to help, that's ok. Please don't use that sort of language here. Manners don't cost anything.

What language?
Anyhow, I posted that over a month ago. Bored much?
Also you still didn't provide the output (you rarely do).
My interest in helping other's with their problems grows with their willingness to help me helping them.
In other words, I don't like people asking for help but actually meaning "please solve it for me".

You know what language I refer to -- you said 'I thought you'd say sth like that (you always do).'
There's no time limit on replying to someone.
I provide the output when I can.
