Unless Francisco has changed his prompt to confuse us all?! :-) Either way, from what mentioned so far I don't think there is anything wrong with mplayer. Running applications as root confuses matters and can give errors not related to running the application as a plain user (which is how it should run at all times anyway). The buffering error however, which you have not shown verbatim, could well be related to very high bufferring limit and or a slow connection (if this is occurring when you are trying to stream videos - you haven't said). Can you increase smplayer/mplayer's verbosity in the log and show the exact error that comes up when being run as a plain user? -- Regards, Mick
