Mplayer GUI invisible

tadziu23 · 01-09-2006, 10:42 AM

runnig gmplayer from a console gives me such result:

Code:

MPlayer 1.0pre7try2-3.4.5 (C) 2000-2005 MPlayer Team
CPU: Advanced Micro Devices Athlon Thunderbird (Family: 6, Stepping: 4)
Detected cache-line size is 64 bytes
CPUflags:  MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 0 SSE2: 0
Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 3DNow 3DNowEx


vo: X11 running at 1280x1024 with depth 24 and 32 bpp (":0.0" => local display)

...so it seems to be running, but gui is invisble,
pressing ctrl^c results in 'fatal error' message:
Mplayer interrupted by signal 2 in module: unknown

anybody knows whats wrong?

check your gmplayer link.
$ which gmplayer

well, 'which' command returned:

/usr/local/bin/gmplayer

You all with the invisible GUI ... did you install a skin? This is required if you compile from source. It may or may not be a seperate step if you're installing from a package for your distro.

From the MPlayer download page (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html):

Quote:

For a complete MPlayer installation you will need sources, a set of codecs, a set of fonts for the onscreen display (OSD) and a skin if you want a graphical user interface.

the problem is, that everything including skin was installed properly...
and still i cant get any soultion, but at least i've learned how to
use mplayer from a consloe
