Bug Description
Binary package hint: mplayer
Hi!
I use mplayer ever and I have a problem when I have the Stop XScreenSaver option ENABLED (independent of the XScreenSaver desktop is enabled or not).
The problem is when I open a file to play the player don't start after a few secons and the player sometimes don't response.
I don't what report that this options come disabled by defaulf, but it should be correct ....i think.
Bye!
The report:

I can confirm this bug in Intrepid, there is also a forum thread about it: http:// ubuntuforums. org/showthread. php?t=741417
The delay can be skipped by pressing Ctrl-C.
Besides disabling the stop-xscreensaver option, the delay can be avoided by starting dcopserver before using mplayer.
