AFAICT, a .pls file is a playlist file (like .asx and .asf), so mplayer needs the playlist option to look for streams inside. The error with avisynth.dll seems to be a generic error message. You could try googling for 'mplayer avisynth playlist' to find some more hints. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
