mpv from Debian should works fine, or mplayer2 if you're still
running a mesozoic version of Debian.

In Linux at the command line you need to escape a special character which a
space is with a slash.
So for a file called 'this is my mp4.mp4' you would write 'this\ is\ my\
mp4.mp4' This does work with Bash's auto fill

Which turned out to be assemble instructions sped up and ending as the
last screw is being installed. And because the model has done it
before, glosses over some of the time killers their written instructions
gloss over. One thing it seriously needs is 4 more holes drilled in the
uprights to positively locate the x travel bar dead level as its trolley
screws are being tightened.

of SMPlayer: it remembers the settings of all files you play.

Too limiting. Mp4 is just a member of mp* files. Report a bug for the omission of mp4.

I never open audio/video programs, I just click on the file in Konqueror. If that

There are numerous ways to do that and I'd start by right clicking on the file and
selecting Open with. If you don't see the program right away browse to the Multimedia
folder. If you still cannot find it, try typing 'program name %U' or %F, e.g.
"mpv %U" at the top, If that works do it again and check remember at the
bottom.
I use plain old mplayer (mplayer -fs %U) and a remote (or hot keys, no GUI) for all
audio/video playback.

Hi Gene,
If you prefer not to use the command line, what happens when
you double click on your MP4 in konqueror?
It depends on how your system is configured. Mine plays the
video in noatun - not my favorite video play but it works.

I always get many good comments from this list, cool.
I use the command line myself,I know where everything is.
I more recenty have used a file manager (konq, thanks) to navigate and find a file and
click to run. Setting mime types to include mp4, and preffered app, may be necessary.

I use kplayer which is waiting to be included in the official packages. Not
sure if Slavek has it in the PTBs, but it is using mplayer and is playing
MP4s just fine.
