 Posted: Mon Sep 16, 2002 10:27 pm Post subject: Where did my MPlayer GUI go? |
 |
|
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:
