Hello,
I have a weird behaviour when opening files in MPlayer from Nautilus.
When I click on a file and select "open with MPlayer", MPlayer opens but tells me that the file doesn't exist (in the message I see all the whitespaces substituted by %20). So, y tell him "OK" and once I hace my MPlayer opened I drag and drop the same file into the player window, and it just works...
Isn't it WEIRD??? ;)
Does anybody have an idea of the cause of this behaviour?

Thanks a lot,
Luca:)

I had the same problem. Here is how I managed:
right click on the movie file
Properties
Open with (tab)
Add
Use a custom command
gmplayer -fs
Add
Select it as default
Close

This way mplayer opens the movie in full screen.

Just change the line like following in /usr/share/applications/mplayer.desktop
-------------------
Exec=mplayer %F
