Try using hardware buttons. Most useful actions are mapped to them (seek forward/backward, exit, volume control). For other more advanced actions (subtitles settings for example) you can invoke OSD menu with pressing 'menu' key. It should be possible to use touchscreen as well in the future versions, but I don't want to make UI stylus dependent (I'm mostly watching TV series in a subway on my way to work, using stylus is awkward there, I want to control the device with only one hand and have the other hand free). Anyway, you can always suggest MPlayer UI improvements in a proper forum thread or what is much more preferable - in garage project trackers. Reporting problems is also very much welcome, they can't be fixed unless we know about them

PS. MPlayer on N800 is still not good because of bad tearing, hopefully the next firmware will allow us to get a smooth video playback support. I'm still using Nokia 770 for watching videos myself
