[MPlayer-users] MPlayer – changing ‘ao=’ codec order in mplayer.conf does not appear to work for per user config?

[Jim Cross]

Thanks for your quick response and detail Reimar. I did wonder if it was a
file or directory, so tried both.
I can get it to work from command line (logged in as pi, has a home
directory which mplayer obviously finds)

But: I am trying to work out how to run MPlayer from a python script that
is called from a browser (javascript) using lighttpd web server (user and
group www-data:www-data). MPlayer response is 'Cannot find HOME directory.'
and therefore, I guess, can not pick-up the new audio codec order.... I
have tried creating a 'home' dir for www-data with config in .mplayer to no
avail. I don't have the expertise to work out what MPlayer is searching for
or if I can change what it looks for as way of a 'home' dir.?
