What I don't understand is why it works from the command line and not from the interface. After all, all the interface does is send commands to mplayer: /usr/bin/mplayer -noquiet -nofs -nomouseinput -sub-fuzziness 1 -identify -slave -vo xv -ao pulse -nokeepaspect -framedrop -nodr -double -input conf=/usr/share/smplayer/input.conf -stop-xscreensaver -wid 29360143 -monitorpixelaspect 1 -noass -subfont-autoscale 1 -subfont-text-scale 5 -subcp enca:fr:ISO-8859-1 -subpos 100 -contrast -8 -brightness 5 -saturation 40 -dvd-device /dev/dvd -dvdangle 1 -cache 2000 -osdlevel 0 -vf-add screenshot -slices -channels 2 -af volnorm=2,equalizer=0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 -softvol -softvol-max 120 -sb 2500000 dvd://1 If I compare with The Thomas Crown Affair command to Mplayer, all that I had more is: -vid 0 -aid 130 -vid <ID> Select video channel (MPG: 0-15, ASF: 0-255, MPEG-TS: 17-8190). When playing an MPEG-TS stream, MPlayer/MEncoder will use the first program (if present) with the chosen video stream. It seems the video mode is not selected by smplayer for Batman (Double layer instead of single layer), whereas mplayer does it. If I get this right, it might be a bug... which I might report, since I use SMPlayer. It's not that starting the video from the command line is so obtrusive -- it could even be done with a shell script -- but I would luv to show a Maccie friend of mine how well Linux works and I just can't imagine myself starting a video from the command line :) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
