Oops - I did, when I had a typo. Somehow I missed it out that time. Yes, it
played, and what's more it played when I pointed to the file in konqueror and
said to open it with mplayer - which it wasn't doing before!
I did try opening mplayer then adding a track to the playlist, but it didn't
seem to read the playlist, instead it tried to open something I had pointed
it at earlier (an internet file). I've also just checked it against a
home-recorded dvd. That also didn't play before, but does now. I wonder
whether starting it from the CLI has initialised something? That's the only
explanation I can think of.
