View Full Version : gmplayer in a chroot

I've got my chroot system going and using Firefox (w/ flash, java, etc.) from it. I want to have a media player that can play .wmv files. I installed mplayer and the windows codecs in the chroot. I can play .wmv fine and run the GUI (gmplayer) just fine in this chroot. When I do the the symlink thing to create a file called 'gmplayer32' like I did with Firefox, I have problems.

When I run the gmplayer32 command in the chroot, it launches the command-line program, not the GUI. I would like to be able to launch the gmplayer GUI using a symlink. Any ideas on how to do that? Let me know if I'm being too vague.

Thanks.
