double clicking in what? hate to be so obvious but
Using Gnome here, trying to open it from nautilus.
MythBusters - S01
Mythbusters%20-%20S01
i see bit of a difference there. no wonder mplayer can't find the given
file. %20 is a coded space but the application should translate it to " " for
mplayer to find it.
Ya, I noticed the problem only happens with gmplayer.
If I knew where to edit the way it calls gmplayer I could try the sed hack suggested by Rich.
Thanks
