The usual drag copy to highlight the name, then a MMB paste to its screen doesn't work, so how do I play it? What a screwup this is. ... I finally made it work from the command line by enclosing the filename in dbl-quotes. Otherwise it try's to open each word in the windows style filename which is full of spaces. Crazy, and it sure as tootin isn't an operating improvement, nothing points me to mpv to play an mp4. mpv does have one, I just found it thank you Mike, but there ought to be an alias setup that gets you mpv's man page when you type man mp4, and get nothing. 'scuse the rant, but I've been poking at this for days. Thanks Mike. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

I never open audio/video programs, I just click on the file in Konqueror. If that doesn't work with the program you want to use, you have to setup a file association. 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting

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. greg
