Somehow I missed it out that time. Yes, it played, and what's more it played when I pointed to the file in konqueror and said to open it with mplayer - which it wasn't doing before! I did try opening mplayer then adding a track to the playlist, but it didn't seem to read the playlist, instead it tried to open something I had pointed it at earlier (an internet file). I've also just checked it against a home-recorded dvd. That also didn't play before, but does now. I wonder whether starting it from the CLI has initialised something? That's the only explanation I can think of. Anne
