Hello AnRkey,

I’m not sure about this solution, may be “-enqueue” option will help you.

Thanks for the tip! It works nicely now. I still have one small problem though. Every time I double click a new song, mplayer opens a new instance instead of using the already open instance to switch to the new song. Do you have any ideas?

Thank you so much I’ve been looking for this for some time, I already knew what the problem was but didn’t know the best way to solve it.

But I still have another one:
Edit the gnome menu (right click in the menu) go to mplayer’s launcher and do the same edit “gmplayer %U” to “gmplayer %F”.

At first it doesn’t make much sense but it will overload the mplayer main launcher by creating mplayer’s .desktop in “~/.local/share/applications/”.

It works only for one user but it has less changes on the system (which I avoid).

It’s same in linux, VLC is awesome for just playing, but MPlayer comes with menconder and supports various command line arugment, keyboard control, blah blah.. However, considering just codecs, both have their unique ways of implementing those, and both works quite well.

Don’t know whether it works for Linux but VLC player is quite simply awesome in Windows. Haven’t found any clip that it couldn’t play.
