I just screwed around with it for 1.5 hours and it still does not work: I downloaded skin, and codecs, installed the codecs first like it said on the mplayer website. Installed the skin and the codecs where it said to, downloaded the latest version and did ./configure --enable-gui , It ran as if it worked ok, did make then make install with no errors and then when I do gmplayer from command line it just shows the command line info and hangs as if its running in the background with no gui. any ideas? By the way xine works ok on my system would there happen to be any codecs to play ASF and WMV files for xine? thanks

Download gxine (http://xinehq.de/index.php/releases) and go to http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html#gxine to find out how to install the plugin __________________ Ubuntu Jaunty :: Arch Linux (current) :: Acer Aspire 1692WMLi
