I might add, I have yet to figure out how to set such things in the config file either. It seems there is no such option to put in the file. Since it doesn't seem to be capable of doing some fairly simple things, I moved on. I found QMPlay2 and it works fine except that it doesn't close at the end of the video. It just shows the little icon thing and sits there. So far, that's the only thing I haven't found a workaround/setting/config for. I've got everything else to work like it should. Dang near a drop in replacement for Gnome-player. At this point, it seems QMPlay2 is going to be used for a while. There are others that I like better as far as looks go but they just don't work the way I want and seem to lack the ability to do so. May give them a try later on. I wish Celluloid worked but it seems it just isn't there yet. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)

Regards, Arve The only downside to mpv is they've removed lirc support quite a long time ago; if you use custom lirc/irexec to control HTPCs or the like like I do it's a bit of a deal-breaker. Dan

I may end up using mpv for my TV and going back to using smplayer as my normal player for short videos I watch on the puter monitor. It's a option. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)

There's a couple things I'd like to change however, it works like you said tho which is a great start. I'd like the bottom part to stay all the time and the little graph thing when I fast forward that shows up, it needs to be gone. If the bottom is always there, I know where I am without that.

[gentoo-user] Gnome mplayer replacement
Howdy, Gnome mplayer left the tree a good long while back. It hasn't been maintained but I kept it installed with a overlay and until recently, it has worked well. While I like smplayer the most, I use it just for watching TV. I have it set to play on screen 1 which is my TV and to start in full screen etc etc etc. So, when I want to watch something short on my puter monitor, I been using gnome player for that. Space bar pauses, arrow keys skip forward etc etc. For some basic needs, it works pretty well. Since it is no longer maintained tho, I've noticed it being unable to play some video formats. I've noticed this with .mkv the most but even a few .mp4 videos as well. Usually, it just crashes. I've tried some other players but either the shortcuts aren't set to work the same or there doesn't seem to even be a menu so I can change settings. This is what I've tried so far. kmediaplayer baka-mplayer gnome-mplayer kmplayer vlc Each has its own things I either like or don't like or just can not figure out a way to set it properly. One of those, I can't find a menu for preferences no matter what I click. I like the look but I want to change what does what. I don't need anything super fancy, like smplayer which has quite a lot of features, but I do need the basics. Space to pause, arrow to go forward or backward. It seems a few has one but not the other. One of those always shows a playlist even tho I have repeatedly set it to disabled. Each time I open a video, there is that list on the right side. :-@ If someone remembers the old Gnome player, what replaced it or better yet, what can I use to replace it with the same keyboard settings? Maybe there is something I haven't heard about and google wants to hide from me. Thanks for any tips. Dale :-) :-)
