SUCCESS !!!!!! mplayer plays fine when i initiate the -ao oss but ONLY in root, how do i make the device avaliable in user mode ? Also when i try to watch in full screen mode the video resolution doesn't change at all the size stays the same.It is related to this message ? "It seems there is no Xvideo support for your video card available." Mike PS. Great job on the player :) _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
