Gmplayer bug?
I have update to the latest version of mplayer which is MPlayer 1.0rc2-4.2.2. But since then gmplayer fails to play some video files and gives a 'cannot open file' error. But these files play just fine from terminal using mplayer.
Is any one else facing this problem.

Re: Gmplayer bug?
yes I am 
First thought it might be some xorg issue again but i downgraded and its still there.
Cli and opening files from mplayer works so is it only nautilus problem?

Re: Gmplayer bug?
Using plain old mplayer after the upgrade to mplayer-1.0rc2-1 caused segmentation faults for me. Couldn't play a single thing.
So I downgraded to mplayer-1.0rc1 and everything worked again.

Re: Gmplayer bug?
Its a mplayer bug. You have to change the /usr/share/applications/mplayer.desktop file.
replace "Exec=gmplayer %U" with "Exec=gmplayer %F
