The bug is a regression in the gutsy-backports repository with the 1.0~rc2-0ubuntu1 package. I don't think mplayer is to blame but probably the person that compiled the software and made the package didn't include the proper switches when configuring the software (./configure --with-some-option). I could be wrong, but this bug don't seem to be in the mplayer forums / lists I've searched so far. It looks ubuntu-specitific...
Workaround : Downgrade to version 1.0~rc1-0ubuntu13.1 (repository gutsy-security) using synaptic / menu package / force version. You can also lock the new version so that update-notifier stop bothering you. -- gmplayer fails to play a file whose filename contains spaces https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164709 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
