Description
This bug has been found to be present in both the 1.0pre8 release and the very
latest version from downloaded from subversion.
On the front page of mplayer [http://www.mplayerhq.hu which redirects to
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html, under the headline "MPlayer 1.0pre8:
"NeuTeam strikes back"", under the "GUI" section] it says that "skins now reside
in a directory named 'skins', not 'Skin'". However, when gmplayer cannot locate
a skin, it yields the following error:
*
[skin] file ( /usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin/default/skin ) not found.
Skin not found (default)
*
Given that gmplayer ought to be looking in the "skins" directory and not the
"Skin" directory, it seems to me that the error message should instead say:
*
[skin] file ( /usr/local/share/mplayer/skins/default/skin ) not found.
Skin not found (default)
*
STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE BUG:
*TERMINAL*
svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer
cd mplayer
./configure --enable-gui
make
make install
/usr/local/share/gmplayer
*END*
And then the above error is given.
This bug was found while using a fresh virtualized install of Slackware 10.2 on
VMware server. It seems like a relatively easy bug to fix and is at worst just
a misleading typo.
Thanks for mplayer, I use it everyday! You guys do a lot for the Linux community!
Should be fixed.
