Re: RH 8.0 --- Me want Xine!

[Erich Schroeder <erich@museum.state.il.us>]

I can't tell from the mplayer home page, so I'll ask here. Does mplayer 
have a non-gui full screen capability? I want a player that will come up 
when called from a command line (like xterm -e mplayer path/to/dvd) and 
not have any capability for getting to the desktop. I'm currently doing 
this with ogle with "xterm -e ogle -u cli /mnt/dvd" but I'm willing to try 
other players to see if the image qualities are different.
