Sorry. The only problem I'm experiencing is that now mplayer is not available in the nautilus menus (i.e. Open with..., etc.) for media files. I'm not sure if it was there before, but now it is not in the "Applications->Sound & Video" menu either. Also, running gmplayer from the command line (without any media file) fails for me with the following:

[06:29][jose@sweety: ~]$ gmplayer
Warning unknown option vo_dxr3_device at line 6
MPlayer UNKNOWN-4.4.0 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team
mplayer: could not connect to socket

[skin] file ( /usr/share/mplayer/skins/default/skin ) not found.
Skin not found (default).
[06:29][jose@sweety: ~]$

The blue skin package is installed. The mplayer-skins package is not.

If I install the mplayer-skins package, it starts, but with the attached error window and if I change the skin to blue, it doesn't take.

It's just that none of this was a problem before the change. I'll try to find a way to fix these errors here, but it may be necessary to make sure everything works well otherwise. Thanks.
