Sorry to keep coming back to this spasmodically, but other things keep intervening.
I downloaded your pre10 rpm, Karol, and it installs fine. Running it via mplayer -ao alsa9 etc (as in my last post) plays the DVD beautifully, with sound, as does gmplayer etc. BUT, I still get no GUI with the latter, and the console printout says: MPlayer was compiled WITHOUT GUI support!
Can you post the exact output of "mplayer -ao alsa9" here? I don't see how there could be no GUI support. $ rpm -q MPlayer MPlayer-0.90pre10-4 $ mplayer Using GNU internationalization Original domain: messages Original dirname: /usr/share/locale Current domain: mplayer Current dirname: /usr/share/locale MPlayer 0.90pre10-3.2 (C) 2000-2002 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS) CPU: Advanced Micro Devices Athlon 4 PM Palomino/Athlon MP Multiprocessor/Athlon XP eXtreme Performance (Family: 6, Stepping: 2) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 3DNow 3DNowEx SSE Reading /home/noodlez/.mplayer/codecs.conf: can't open '/home/noodlez/.mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory Reading /etc/codecs.conf: 44 audio & 110 video codecs Usage: mplayer [options] [url|path/]filename Basic options: (see the man page for the complete list) [...big snip...] $
I can roll backwards and forwards through the DVD with the mousewheel, though, which is an advance on Xine,
I definitely like the FORWARD 10 SECONDS feature as well. it's great hitting the arrow keys or the mouse wheel to do so. So handy... Even Windows Media Player doesn't do that.
but I can't adjust the brightness/contrast, which is a step back!
I was pretty sure that I saw BRIGHTNESS/CONTROLS controls under gmplayer PREFERENCES, but I was wrong. I just checked. :( Nevertheless, they -are- configurable. See 'man mplayer': -brightness <-100 - 100> Adjust brightness of video output (default 0). It changes intensity of RGB components of video signal from black to white screen. -contrast <-100 - 100> Adjust contrast of video output (default 0). Works in similar manner as brightness. I'll check in the next week or so whether namp [http://j.a.l.free.fr/namp/index.html], another MPlayer frontend, has BRIGHTNESS/CONTRAST controls in its setup. -- Karol Pietrzak <noodlez84@earthlink.net> PGP KeyID: 3A1446A0
