If you're not wedded to mplayer, you might consider other players as well. I used to use xmms all of the time (and since, I've not found one that's worked as well). These days I use totem and I have FVWM bind keystrokes to: Key P A CM Exec totem --play-pause & Key Right A CM Exec totem --next & Key Left A CM Exec totem --previous & Key Right A SM Exec totem --seek-fwd & Key Left A SM Exec totem --seek-bwd & Many other GUI players offer something similar. With the links that David posted, you have to remember to launch mplayer with the right flags. Maybe that can be configured to do that all of the time? (I've not actually tried... will have to now actually). mrc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
