[MPlayer-users] Can't frontend mplayer?

[SMuelas]

I have tried your test and it works wonderfully. I attach my log file as
you to be able to see what it launches. I have tried changing "null" by
a video mode and the film begin immediately    :-)
Please, if you take the time to make a nice GUI to launch the program,
don't forget to tell me. I have enough with this absurdity of PNG thing.
