A little more on the continue saga of getting mplayer with the gui to work. mplayer runs solidly now, playing all the videos that I have tried from UnitedStreaming provided I start it from a terminal session. I have not gotten either the gui interface nor the plugin to work properly. GUI: For the gui, it launches but the moment you start a clip, it freezes. Now, the only clue I have is that if you try to then open a terminal session after launching gmplayer, the terminal session also freezes. Is there a possibility that the gui is trying to write to std out and can't so it freezes? If I execute a CTRL-C for the terminal window, I then get the prompt back, and can kill gmplayer. Plugin: The plugin shows as loaded, and shows that it is downloading/buffering, but then on playback, I do not get anything, no picture, no sound. Sincerely, Dave Hopkins <div> </div>
