 |
|
Hi,
recently, my smplayer has decided it knows better than I do with what I want to do with files 
It's only happened since my kde upgrade (using 4.6.2 stable from kdebase-meta) but eh, I don't like smplayer to use a playlist, If I open a video, I want to watch it then  , however, despite using smplayer preferences and disabling the playlist, smplayer still appends to playlist.
my smplayer.ini has:
auto_add_to_playlist=false
add_to_playlist_consecutive_files=false
and yet, smplayer still thinks I want a playlist
emerge --info smplayer:
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/387793/
It's a sane system, use flags are usually managed from package.use, and is mostly stable
Any ideas?

Yes - remove the virus called "KDE4". 
More seriously, though: does this happen with any other video player? Do you have another WM or DE installed, and if so, does smplayer do this under that WM/DE? Just trying to figure out where this is happening, since smplayer appears to be configured correctly.
Maybe you could install a lightweight WM like Fluxbox, Blackbox, or even a lighter DE like XFCE just for troubleshooting. Big old DE's like Gnome and KDE have so much stuff floating around it can be hard to tell if a program or some DE setting is screwed up and having a minimal desktop can help.
I'm not saying replace KDE with something else - just put something else in for troubleshooting.

Did you actually try it from the command line? That is, have a runningn smplayer and then run smplayer <another file>?
I ask this because there are two desktop files for smplayer, one of which actually enqueues the new file. If you are launching from the file manager, it might be running the enqueue desktop by default.

This seems to be it, running from command line works as intended. Thank you  |
