Config file settings for alternative menu files
I'm trying to set up my config using -profiles. I can't seem to make this option work: menu-cfg = "movie-menu.conf" I have a custom menu file in my .mplayer directory named as above but I get this error. [MENU] Can't open menu config file: /home/till/.mplayer/menu.conf [MENU] Can't open menu config file: /etc/mplayer/menu.conf Menu init failed. I'm calling mplayer like so: mplayer -profile movies fl.avi This is what my movie section looks like in .mplayer/config [movies] profile-desc = "profile for local Movies" input:conf = "movie-input.conf" menu-cfg = "movie-menu.conf" # Buggy cfg Option: Command line only? cache = "8192" cache-min = "4" #ontop = "yes" #fs = "yes" menu = "yes" I've tried specifying the full path but that made no difference. If I call mplayer with my alternative menu file from the command line it works great: mplayer -profile movies -menu-cfg $HOME/.mplayer/movie-menu.conf fl.avi Am I missing something? I'm running the latest svn self compiled. -- Best xmass regards to all Till

How did you specify the full path? Obviously no shell expansion is done on the config file, so $HOME or ~ sure won't work.

Yeah you're right about that, I specified the full path /home/user/.mplayer/my-menu.conf. According to the docs, this shouldn't be needed as mplayer will scan the users directory first if no path is specified. Strange because it works fine for input files but not menu files :( -- Regards Till
