Hi, I encountered following problem with keyboard input of MPlayer: When I stop mplayer (using ^Z), my shell resets mplayer's termios settings (to be precise, ~(ICANON|ECHO)), so that when I continue mplayer using fg in my shell, the settings aren't restored, and mplayer doesn't recognize the keystrokes. One solution could be to install a signal handler for SIGCONT, which will call getch2_enable(). We might also need to do getch2_disable() on SIGTSTP (so that static int getch2_status, from linux/getch2.c is set/reset correctly) Trivia about my system: uname -a: Linux 2.2.20 i686 (RedHat 6.2) Using MPlayer 0.90pre4-2.95.4 Tried above with bash and zsh. thanks, Kedar
