Mplayer Keep Window on Top - repeat fnct


Is there anyway to make the mplayer window stay on top of other windows when a video is playing?

Also is there a autorepeat function?

uncomment the ontop option yes in the file:

/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf

# Makes the player window stay on top of all other windows.
# ontop=yes


For looping use the -loop option from the command line:

mplayer -loop 0 mymovie.mpg

0=continuous

did you read the manpage at all before asking this?

1) -ontop

2) -loop 0

Don't know of any option in the config file but you can use something like this:

mplayer -loop 0 *.mpg
