    smplayer is a gui for mplayer.

    If you just want to listen to a tune or watch a vid from the shell there`s no need to launch smplayer as you are using the command line.

    Hi nomnex,

    Well I would never actually call SMPlayer only a gui as it goes over and beyond what you would expect from a front-end. But all the commands and functions that it uses can be duplicated from the commandline, but this will never be as easy as using SMPlayer itself .

    Hi back Andrew.46 and thanks for the precision. If you happen to know a guide/link to use MPlayer from complete beginner to advance, I am glad to read it. And let me ask, even if it is out of topic, don't SMPlayer comes with additional codecs pack (as I does under Windows) when I install it using Synaptic?

    Oh no, have I come across as a little obsessive and picky again .

    If you happen to know a guide/link to use MPlayer from complete beginner to advance, I am glad to read it.
    I will have to admit that guides for the complete beginner are a little thin on the ground. The iconic place to begin though is probably the MPlayer html documentation which can be found here:

    MPlayer - The Movie Player
    http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/index.html

    This, like much of the MPlayer world is aimed at the svn MPlayer. If you are interested I have written a guide for installation of the svn MPlayer here:

    HowTo: Install the very latest MPlayer under Jaunty Jackalope
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1081070

    and while I am pimping my own guides, an advanced user guide here:

    Top 10 Tricks and Tips for the svn MPlayer
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1154431

    but I suspect you will find that beginner's guides are not all that easily found and you may have to enlist my 2 best friends Trial and Error .

    And let me ask, even if it is out of topic, don't SMPlayer comes with additional codecs pack (as I does under Windows) when I install it using Synaptic?
    No it does not unfortunately. But codecs for MPlayer can be found in the Medibuntu repository as w32codecs or a substantially lesser package for 64bit users.

    All the best,

    Andrew
