[MPlayer-users] Re: Mplayer setup advice needed

[Adam Bogacki]

Apologies, my posted example was  done as root - which solves the first 
problem,
but not the others.

I'd welcome advice on fixing

(1)

> font: can't open file: /home/adam/.mplayer/font/font.desc
> font: can't open file: /usr/share/mplayer/font/font.desc

(2)

> Failed to open /dev/rtc: Permission denied (mplayer should be setuid 
> root or /dev/rtc should be readable by the user.)

and

(3)

> Can't open input config file /home/adam/.mplayer/input.conf: No such 
> file or directory
> Input config file /etc/mplayer/input.conf parsed: 53 binds

Hmm... I might be able to fix (3) myself.
