Writing a patch right now. The problem is that the config file doesn't work. In theory, creating the file /home/user/MyDocs/.easyplayer/preferences should fix it.

Will post back with more permanent solution unless OP does.

Attached a patch that corrects the following:

the home directory is no longer hard coded: this means that easy player is no longer broken for anyone who has changed the default user name, or runs as another user (for whatever reason you might do that)
default config is now created if the config file doesn't exist (this was sort of already their, but I connected the broken dots)

patch (also attached):
