[MPlayer-users] Mplayer Skin folder -- Where and Why?

[Benjamin Sher]

Dear Wieslaw:

Here is my attempt at writing the configuration for Skin in the "/home/
user/.mplayer/config" file. I tried but Mplayer still won't come up. May I 
ask if you could please check it carefully:

BEGIN

# Write your default config options here!

skin = </home/sher/.mplayer/Skin/default> # <skin name> means the name of that 
directory too.

END

Here is the output from my console:

sher at Dell:~$ cd .mplayer
sher at Dell:~/.mplayer$ ls
codecs  config  font  registry  Skin  win32
sher at Dell:~/.mplayer$ cd Skin
sher at Dell:~/.mplayer/Skin$ ls
default
sher at Dell:~/.mplayer/Skin$ cd default
sher at Dell:~/.mplayer/Skin/default$ ls

sher at Dell:~/.mplayer/Skin/default$

Would really appreciate your help with this. It's been driving me nuts.

Thank you so much.

Benjamin
