um, I'm not sure what a mplayer.conf is nor have I ever edited it. All I want to do is use that mplayer menu again. Some videos need to have the audio sync adjusted and not having that ability makes kmplayer useless for video.

I don't really want system control as much as I want kmplayer to handle it's own volume. Like I said, osso player has a LOW volume when playing any type of file (btw, why is that?!?), I want to be able to turn up the volume and not effect the system volume. Listening to an mp3 at the loudest system volume (because osso plays so low) then having the mail app alert come in super loud is jarring.

A simple place to put the control is right under the video in the pane that the video plays. There is a LOT of wasted/under utilized space.

nope. with omapfb disabled, the button still does nothing. Infact watching an .avi all the buttons do nothing.

The up/down keys does position the playlist in fullscreen. Only for mplayer w/o omapfb this is disabled because of mplayer's own hardware keys.
nope, again with omapfb enabled or disabled, the buttons pretty much do nothing.

yes. but the slider only tells you at what point you are in the file, NOT how long the file is, how much you have listened to, or how much time you have left. If I was watching a video and didn't know how long it was, it would be nice to see that info onscreen somehow. Also, elapse time or better yet, "time left" would be good so I know if i can watch the entire vid before my train reaches the station.

Thank you for all your effort. KMplayer is still my fave media player because it's not bogged down like others (ie canola) trying to be overly fancy.
