mplayer is supposed to look for your lirc config file in ~/.lircrc by default, but for some reason I've had some problems with that in the past. You can always specify your lirc config file to mplayer with the command-line argument -lircconf /path/to/config/file. Also, I recently fixed a problem where Myth was working fine with lirc, but mplayer wasn't. It turned out that I had two different versions of liblirc_client.so installed on my system - one in /usr/lib and the other in /usr/local/lib. Myth was using the correct one and mplayer was using the wrong one. Try running 'locate liblirc_client' and make sure any files it finds are only in one place. Brad
