[expert] mplayer wierdness
Hello Recently my mplayer installation began acting strangely. It starts in fullscreen mode no matter what settings I give it and the control interface opens only on desktop 2. The control interface only displays partially and is unusable. Mandrake 9.0 KDE 3.01 mplayer 0.90-10plf mplayer-gui-0.90.10plf mplayer-skins-1.3-3mdk mplayer-fonts-1.0-3plf Latest video drivers for geforce3 from nVidia's site It has been working fine and I have not made any changes that I can remember. All my other apps seem to be OK Any idea as to where to look for the problem? Thanks Jim Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Jim I am still able to control mplayer functions from the cli, but the gui is broken. For some reason, the gui "controller" will only display on my #3 desktop, and even then only displays a part of itself . In other words I only see about half of it. This happens with all of the skins I have, and if I try to move the controller it becomes completely garbled. I do not know where to look for the cure to this. I ripped out the rpms using the gui software removal tool and went through and deleted any thing else it left behind related to mplayer. I downloaded the source from the mplayer site and compiled it and installed it. Same behavior. The video window itself displays on whichever desktop I'm using, and the videos seem to play fine. I can do without the gui, but it was sure nice while it was working. I'm running 9.0 KDE 3.01 and the latest nvidia drivers from nVidia's site Thanks for your response.

I have added a PLF source to my urpmi, and use primarily their RPMs: mplayer-fonts-1.0-7mdk mplayer-gui-0.90-10plf mplayer-skins-1.3-3mdk mplayer-0.90-10plf mencoder-0.90-10plf win32-codecs-1.4-1plf I run KDE 3.05a on 9.0 with these RPMs, and mplayer (including the gui) works fine here, FWIW. I particularly like the CornerMP skin ... :) To add PLF to urpmi, see the http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon page.
