GMplayer SCM has Video Glitch

(1/3) > >>

Hi,
Mplayer SCM functions w/-vo x11, but returns to CLI on other -vo setting's.  On the other hand, GMplayer SCM is completely non-functional.  Can GMplayer.scm function ok w/TCP?

Not sure why that would beg for an exclamation mark, nothing unusual at all.
Many factors of setup and parameters are playing a role, most likely there would be hints in output.
Hint: Some drivers - e.g. vidix - require sudo, if permission issues are shown.

Greetings tinypoodle!
Sudo makes no sense for a GUI like GMplayer, unless it can be imbedded in a 'conf' file, that GMplayer seeks, inorder to launch.  Where exactly does GUI GMplayer 'conf' file actually reside, in TCP 4.7.3?  There are other essential switched I'd plug in this startup config file.  The linux file structure is completely new to me, especially TCP.
Finally, your dialog "if permission issues are shown" need's further explanation, to newbies . . .

Kind Regards,
eltone

Gmplayer worked fine for me last time I used it, I am not on TC now to test it but will tonight.

And as pointed out terminal output would be helpful in determining the issue.

Thanks.

All my references apply to mplayer - personally I have not touched gmplayer ever since TC came into life...
Doubtful if gmplayer could change user executing mplayer, you might have to start gmplayer as root if you want to make use of vo drivers requiring root permission.

You might want to consider using a good file manager (e.g. rox-filer, mc, emelfm).

When you start mplayer from a terminal, mplayer will show a lot of output which helps with troubleshooting, amongst other lacking permissions for vo drivers, e.g:
