[MPlayer-users] Playing multiple videos at the same time

[gabor]

i can watch two mplayers with -vo xv in both of them...

geforce4+nvidia drivers here...

actually when i start the second mplayer -vo xv, he complains:
.
.
.
Xv: could not grab port 119
.
.
.

but it works... i get a second xv display ( it must be xv because i can
resize it etc. )

bye,
gabor

That's life for you, said McDunn.  Someone always waiting for someone 
who never comes home.  Always someone loving something more than that 
thing loves them.  And after awhile you want to destroy whatever 
that thing is, so it can't hurt you no more.
