Mplayer Problems

When i play a video from a website, mplayer plays it two times in a row, any way i can stop this also is there a way to customize mplayer like making it play in double size automatically and making the control panel open up in a corner so its not hidden by the screen? thanks........

You can download the gmplayer, which is a graphical shell or plugin that gives you more control over mplayer.

I dont remember, but it installed fine. I think i used an rpm.
but this is really annoying the double playing of videos.
I got into the habit of deleteing rpms cuz they were filling up my downloads directory.

You could try compiling from source. I just did it it was pretty easy. The only mistakes I made were not following the directions properly.

Sorry, no advice on your current install.

compiling mplayer is easier than rpm'ing it - at least for me

I cannot compile anything because i do not have a compiler installed and I cannot install one.

u have no compiler? are u sure that its just not in ur path? it seems extremely unlikely that u dont have one,
since u installed mplayer i assume its ur machine and u have root access, so why cant u install a compiler?

I have this problem also with MPlayer of the video playing twice. I have no idea how to get rid of it, but I just deal with it.

this seems to be an integration problem of gmplayer within kde... use mplayer instead (no gui).

I have the same problem (videos playing twice under gmplayer) I run Gentoo. However I had the same problem under Mandrake. Both systems ran Gnome
