Is dbus running? What do you get from: # /etc/init.d/dbus status and $ echo $(dbus-launch) Finally, launch mplayer -msglevel all=6 <some_video_file> to see what you get on the command line. You can increase -msglevel 6 up to 9 to get more verbose debugging output. Press q to stop the debugging session - you only need the first couple of screenfulls, until it starts the PARSE messages. -- Regards, Mick
