Re: XForward mplayer

Have you intalled a GUI?
If you have it, look for gmplayer. I havn't use it, but it seems to work.

I want to xforward mplayer, but when I run it from my remote ssh
session, it runs in its console mode.

Is there any way to force it to run as a GUI application so it will
appear in my local X session? I don't see this in the MPlayer docs.

Have you tried an explicit -display option? Note that you may have
trouble
with (a) audio on the remote machine; and (b) some of the rendering
engines will probably not work right through a remote X server.

Setting the DISPLAY option didn't do hit, but I did see the answer:
mplayer has startup options in the man page not shown in the console
'mplayer --help' where I looked.

-gui forces startup in GUI mode.
