I did an emerge --update world earlier, it was nice to see the new Mplayer in there... but unfortunately things ain't quite right for me: I can't get the GUI anymore. That is, the -gui option gives me this error:

Error: 'gui' is not a mplayer/mencoder option

This is with MPlayer 0.90pre7-2.95.3. I haven't changed any USE variables since it was last installed, I just have this:

USE="oss dvd"

Not sure why I have oss in there, it's in make.profile/make.defaults anyway, but so is gtk...

Do you have "X" in your USE? Don't know if that makes any difference, but it just might.

gmplayer will do the same thing as load mplayer -gui

You might want to also backup/remove your ~/.mplayer folder.

The new version of mplayer doesn't use -gui... it is set in a config file.

Code:

mkdir .mplayer (if not exists)
cd .mplayer

echo "gui = 1" > config


Also if you want, you could add other options like:
Code:

"echo" vo = xv >> config

Will overwrite existing settings in .mplayer/config. If anyone lost the settings, my config file contained:
Code:
fs = 0
x=800
y=600
