[The following is a re-post of a bug report I sent about a week ago to mplayer-users. Nobody seemed to care over there, so I'm re-trying here.] Verified versions: CVS snapshots 2003-01-31 and 2003-01-24. The default OSD menu has an "Open..." command which allows me to select a movie to play. Unfortunately, the directory scanner doesn't check for symlinked directories. If the user chooses a symlink-to-directory, mplayer tries to "play" the target directory, which of course does not work. Proposed micro-patch: Change libmenu/menu_filesel.c, line 97; replace the call to lstat by a call to stat. Works for me, and seems the logical choice. -- Best Regards, | Hi! I'm a .signature virus.
