Re: [Howto] Successfully install the svn mplayer + gmplayer + all the codecs.
Hi,
Good to see that you are persisting:

ok here is what happens, if I right click on a video file and say open with mplayer it can't be open if I brows the file from right click on the skin and say open file then brows it and open it is works...
But the image is not good at all it is too bright and the subs are not that good, if I change to X11 from Xv it fixes the color of the image and the subs. few subs are misplaced and there is to big space between them and the image is small even in full screen the image is like normal size.
any ideas?
It is sometimes a struggle to get things just right but it will be worthwhile in the end. Have a look at what video output is available to you:
and have a play with these. The one that works best can be selected as default in an ~/.mplayer/conf file or selected on the command line as you have already found.
Subtitles go a little beyond the scope of my walkthrough which is designed to get you up and going rather than move through the program itself. But if you use the gui you will see a section under preferences marked 'Subtitles and OSD' which will get you started. For the command line you would normally load all your preferences into a configuration file in ~./mplayer. You should find many 'recipes' online to experiment with.
But otherwise the program is up and running with gui and on screen display + access to all codecs?

You think that's air you're breathing now?
