Mplayer help?

[chuckywang]

Helllo, I went to the main mplayer site http://mplayerhq.hu and I downloaded the rpms for mplayer and mplayer-common. However, there is no link for mplayer-gui. I can't find it anywhere on the site for the 1.0-pre5 release. I googled it and can't find it either. Anyone know were I can get it?

I'm using Fedora Core 2. Thanks.

man I miss mplayer and playing all those games... I signed up when it was still mpath and was even an Elite Beta Tester... oh the free games I got from them...

what are you talking about? MPlayer is a video player for linux.

You might already have it...try running 'gmplayer'.

Ok, after much heartache, I seem to finally be getting somewhere. I downloaded a skin and font and put it in the appropriate directory. However, I still get this error:

New_Face failed. Maybe the font path is wrong.
Please supply the text font file (~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf).
subtitle font: load_sub_face failed.

What does this mean?

EDIT: Ok, now this is really weird. When I run "gmplayer", mplayer loads up (I see the skin and everything) but I get the above error. When I run "gmplayer &", mplayer just freezes on loadup. Somehow, I can't use the command prompt when mplayer is running.
