[Solved] mplayer setting files

What I know is, ~/.mplayer/config file affects all media files, and ~/.mplayer/a.mp4.conf affects only the media file which has the name a.mp4. But I have two media files, which have the same name, in different directories and I want to make different settings for these two files.

Is there a way to make different setting files in ~/.mplayer/ for these two media files without changing the file name?

Re: [Solved] mplayer setting files

Not sure if this is what you need, but

man mplayer wrote:

       You can also write file-specific configuration files.  If you wish to have a con‐
       figuration  file  for  a  file  called   'movie.avi',   create   a   file   named
       'movie.avi.conf'  with the file-specific options in it and put it in ~/.mplayer/.
       You can also put the configuration file in the same directory as the file  to  be
       played,  as  long as you give the -use-filedir-conf option (either on the command
       line or in your global config file).  If a file-specific  configuration  file  is
       found  in  the  same  directory,  no  file-specific  configuration is loaded from
       ~/.mplayer.  In addition, the -use-filedir-conf option enables directory-specific
       configuration  files.

Re: [Solved] mplayer setting files

well, then either I have to put the configuration file in each directory or have to change the filename. Thank you
