Hello all, I am new to the list and new to Mplayer.. I have searched the archives and not found anything on this, so I think it is safe to post this problem. My problem is this: When I try to play an mp3 on mplayer through the gui, the gui hangs until the song is done playing. I can control mplayer through the terminal. But I would like to be able to use the gui. I do not know if I have the same problem with video files, I have not had the chance to try one. Any help is greatly appreciated.
