Richmond, presumably you used the command to set which the movie player is? You did
set videoClipPlayer and gave the full path of the executable? I've never done this, but it sounds like it ought to work. Yes, the instructions in the dictionary on what is the default do seem a little out of time. Maybe the answer is, go out to shell and do the command in the shell. If you do call it from a shell script, you will not have to give the absolute path, just the command with the appropriate command line parameters should do. On what the default player is, it will likely depend on the DTE as well as the distro. With Gnome, it will be mplayer. With a KDE install, it will be the KDE player. A bit like, if you are using Evolution for email, it will open the Gnome browser unless you set the properties and tell it different. If you are using kmail, even on a basically Gnome system, it will open links in Konqueror. We don't often do video, but the other day someone filmed a clip, copied it from camera to desktop, and it it simply played as soon as we opened it without any further intervention. So if you do use the shell, it should work fine. -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Playing-a-movie-in-Linux-tp2292222p2292957.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
