Bug Description
MPlayer in new 20.04 LTS (2:1.3.0-8build5) fails to load GUI gives "skin errors" Using stock Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (3.36.1) in Gnome. Only thing added to system pulseaudio control gui and libdvdcss2 from source package set. Videos default player also will not run but gives no errors. MPlayer installs as a command line player, but the GUI and skins crash the program with skin errors.

To resolve;
1) Left Videos installed as default player (still not playing commercial dvd, but no error shown. It picks up the data from the DVD, but will not play it)
2) Removed all MPlayer files (synaptic)
3) Installed VLC (runs good with libdvdcss2 and all code)
*I forgot how big VLC is...space-wise... WOW)
