Yes, but part of the problem is that /usr/local/bin turns out *not* to be one of the environment paths in OS X. If it were, then we would not have the problems. The line app=mplayer that is currently in mplayer.sh will, I assume, find mplayer as long as it is in a folder specified as a possible path. The file /private/etc/csh.login which seems to control the paths reads (as I may have already said) setenv PATH "/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin" But you have pointed to an issue with bpa's suggested modification of mplayer.sh. It would work for anyone who has mplayer in /usr/local/bin but not for you, as you have it in /usr/bin. We certainly don't want to suggest that people modify csh.login, as any error could cause major problems. So what is needed is something that, as you say, checks for the presence of mplayer in the environment path and if it doesn't find it there looks for it in /usr/local/bin. -- danco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22476 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
