stupid problems with gmplayer and gxine

[bkouhi]

Hello forum,

I have two stupid problems with gmplayer and gxine. Both of them doesn't have something like "Open Directory" to open a whole directory tree for playing. Even I can't drag and drop a directory for play .mp3 files inside it. VLC is OK but for some reasons I prefer using GTK based media players.

Another problem with gmplayer and gxine is the volume control. It change to default each time the track changes.

As for opening directories (thanks for not calling them folders) I can't do it with gmplayer either, at least not in the way you describe it. It does work from the command line, e.g. % gmplayer /mnt/extern/some/dir/*.avi, but not from the "open file" dialog. If it's just MP3 files, multimedia/xmms can do what you want.

This may not be particularly helpful, but it's the best I can do

About volume control, here are some of useful options:

−softvol # Force the use of the software mixer, instead of using the sound card mixer.
−softvol−max <10.0−10000.0> # Set the maximum amplification level in percent (default: 110). A value of 200 will allow you to adjust the volume up to a maximum of double the current level. With values below 100 the initial volume (which is 100%) will be above the maximum, which e.g. the OSD cannot display correctly.

You can also put all these configurations in ~/.mplayer/config as following:

softvol=1
softvol-max=200
