I don't know the OSX specifics but I believe the following to be applicable.
First - a user which is an administrator will nearly always be able to run mplayer whereas SBS does not run as Administrator but with another userid and group which has very few privileges needs to have permissions and owner set correctly in order to run mplayer. Ideally when testing mplayer execution you should be testing logged in with the same userid (and by implication group) as the SBS userid. For a user to run mplayer - the user needs execute, sometimes read but not write access. The containing directories will needs execute access as well to list/search the directory. Write access except for owner is dangerous and a security risk as it enables non privileged users alter the executable. When looking at a file properties/details - permissions will have owner, group and others/everyone access. You only indicated one set of permissions. In a Terminal windows you can use the "ls -l" command to list file permissions, owner and group. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79577 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
