how come a long time MPlayer's user don't know the basic fact that it is a Linux
base application ! ... based on some responses yesterday, I realized that need
to do some reading, .... and now I know that what I've been using so far is a
Linux MPlayer via SMPlayer as front-end in Windows ..., sorry again to you all ...
I'm just a novice user ... usually do only opening file, start, volume, pause, quit ...

... yes, ... but earlier today I got some guidance from another nice guy who sent
direct to my email, .... I'll read it first and hopefully if I understand can try it in a few

And that problem is? We need exact description of what's going on
as well as the full output mplayer -v the_problematic_file.rmvb.

Ideally you could upload the file to ftp://upload.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/incoming/
along with a similarly named text file describing the exact problem.

MPlayer codebase is the same in Windows and Linux. The only differences
are the GUI and some networking code as far as I remember. So support
for various file container formats and codecs is exactly the same in both
Windows and Linux builds.
