In ubuntu7.10, mplayer cannot be played.

here I want to talk about mplayer. Based on my experience, the video card driver and mplayer (supports rmvb and RM and a series of players that are commonly used in Windows) these are two major problems in liunx. Here I will only talk about the problem that mplayer cannot be played, provided that you have successfully installed mplayer, but when playing the video, " failed to open file: // home/yours/% E4 % B8 % ad % E6 % 96% 87. rmvb , but you can open the audio and video files and play the files without error through the Open menu option of mplayer. Well, if your problem is like this, see the solution below:

solution:
on the console (that is, the terminal, you can click application Program -> accessories -> terminal "), enter:
sudo gedit/usr/share/applications/mplayer. desktop
Find
exec = gmplayer % U
changed to
exec = gmplayer % F
Save and exit
and play the video again. Is the problem solved? Haha ......
