If you like mplayer, you will love SMPlayer and Gnome-Mplayer. Both SMplayer and Gnome-Mplayer are really good MPlayer front-ends and they do work great. SMplayer has long been my favorite multimedia player in Ubuntu and we have even featured SMplayer among the most wanted multimedia apps for Ubuntu.
I just installed smplayer and it's not working! I don't seem to recognise the reason, but it might be something in the lines of 'unrecognised mplayer version' or something. Although, mplayer works. from terminal i'm able to run mplayer and watch movies.
Hi,
I am very new to Linux/Fedora and haven't used it before. Can someone please advise on the easiest way to install SMPlayer.
Using Ubuntu 12.04.1 i set SMPlayer as default movie player in my system settings and i want movie files to open with SMPlayer whenever i try double-click on them but doesnt work. The system still recognises standard Mplayer as default.
I also set SMPlayer to open movie files from "open with another app" menu but this doesnt work either.
