[MPlayer-users] gmplayer won't load skin or font

[Marc Adler]

When I try to run gmplayer I get the following:

Reading config file /usr/local/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf: No such file or
directory

[Here I have to type C-c because it hangs.]

MPlayer interrupted by signal 2 in module: unknown

[I don't normally run it as root, but the errors are all in Japanese if
I run it in my user account - the error problem the same, however.]

I downloaded a font and a skin, and put them in the proper locations

$HOME/.mplayer/Skin

as well as

/usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin[/default/skin] <- I tried both

but it's not working.

Should I put the skins in their own folders? (i.e. phony = directory
"phony" etc.)

I read TFM (Appendix D) but it wasn't very clear on this point.

Thanks,
