Hello, I posted this earlier and tried several CVS-versions since and tried some other Skins as well, to no avail. The version info below is not correct, but I just re-use this message. I was also advised to remove ~/.mplayer directory and try again, but that doens't help either. Can someone give a clue??? When I start to "gmplayer" a movie nothing happens. When I press the play button in the skin a pop-up appears with the text "NULL filename, report this bug" and still nothing happens. mplayer itself works well.
