I'm not at that computer at the moment, but I suppose you're forced to use x11 output for this, I prefer xv since it has much lower cpu utilization.

I'm using the latest one in portage, v1-beta10.
Thanks for all the info on controlling mplayer but I've used it for several years and I'm quite familiar with the controls ;) I've probably read over the manul 10 times by now trying to get it to do what I want.
I see you have a bunch of empty posts for some reason, you can delete them for a short while after posting them with the "X" button that appears next to the edit button. |

You are not "forced" to use the x11 driver. You can also use the xvidix driver used by mplayer. And the vidix driver perform better than xv.

Does it ??? I am using :
media-libs/xine-lib-1_beta10
media-video/xine-ui-0.9.20
And it does not work for Quicktime movies with multiple audio tracks like this one :
http://progressive1.stream.aol.com/wb/gl/wbonline/progressive/thematrix/us/med/animatrixlgfinal_dl.mov
Please tell me what i am doing wrong, out of interest. |

That is good to hear |

I'll give that a try next time I'm at my system.

Well there aren't many things I can't do with it these days but here are a few examples:
Is there a way to have mplayer remember the size of your video window between sessions? Without locking it to a certain size in your config file, I'd like to manually adjust it sometimes and have the size be remembered between sessions. I'd also like it to remember the position of the window.
Is there a way to force mplayer to a single session. I'd like to click on one video and have it play, then click on another video and have it open in the same mplayer session. By default it keeps opening new sessions. |

Use KDE. It can do that for you. Just right click on the window and say "Store window behaviour". Or if you want a specific movie to play in a certain res every time. ie the matrix trailer calle matrix.mov. :
| Code: | #~/.mplayer/matrix.mov.conf
x=800
y=600
pp=0
vo=vidix
aspect=16:9
nofs=1
fstype=stays_on_top
#etc..

Note really. Not at the moment. Some of the commands for mplayer have not been implemented ie :
| Code: | hide [Integer]
run String |
The tricky part then would be to have the video and audio drivers switch if the movie you want to play next is configured to use an alternative driver, guess you would have to sacrifice that.
Untested
Here is a small hack of a shell script that might give you the same behaviour :
| Code: | #Tell the other mplayer to quit :
FILE="$@"
#mkfifo ~/controller
echo "quit" > ~/controller
echo "" > ~/controller
mplayer "$@"
#mplayer -input file=~/controller "$@" |
and then have the following in the mplayer config:
| Code: | #hack
input="file=~/controller" |
Well as you are using xine there is a python binding for it called "pyxine" with that you can do alot of hacking. One then i like able xine is the seperation of the ui from the lib. This is going have to happen for mplayer. And is on a wishlist. |

wow this seems to work, thanks ;)

Yea that's what I've been doing, I'd prefer that it just remember whatever size I last dragged the window to though.

There's too much delay closing it and reopening it between videos, I think I'll stick with drag'n'drop or pornview until one of the players does this properly. |

Pornview now does mplayer. That is cool.
I think that "feh" should be the default image viewer as well |

Ok well you are missing the video codec. So you need to install the win32codecs and then mplayer
| Code: | | emerge win32codecs mplayer |
Tips : Look in your output for the Fourcc of the missing codec, in this case it is "SVQ3" then look on the codec look up table on mplayers site to see what codec you need :
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/codecs-status.html
This is the needed codec :
| Code: | | win32/quicktime SVQ3 decoder SVQ3 QuickTimeEssentials.qtx YUY2 |
So for this movie you need to have the win32 codecs installed. |
