@all

I'll add a remark to not use OS4Reboot in the MPlayer readme, thanks for reporting this.

I have managed to reproduce the locked palette problem myself, and added an issue ticket on the site. To reproduce it, once the Palette window is open you need to press the spacebar twice, the palette grid will be shown with all the slots filled with colors. I suspect it is a problem related to P96's overview implementation, and as number6 said it doesn't seem to be related to the purple color behaviour. I'll take a look if it will be possible to make a workaround in MPlayer, together with the SDL problems.

I have found a bug in MPlayer-GUI. Try to run it, close it and try making any change in WB's Prefs which require WB to be closed and opened again (e.g. locking the palette or changing the resolution). Intuition will fail to do so, asking to close all the programs that are still open on WB, even if there's none. Seems like MPlayerGUI isn't properly closed when it's quit via the window's close gadget. I have checked that this is not caused by MPlayer, since this bug appears even if no video is replayed at all before closing the GUI.

Oh! I'll have to check that. I haven't been able to close my WB for at least 10 years due to all sorts of programs so I never tested. I wonder what it might be doing.

Overlay replaces one certain colour (purple) with a picture.

So it uses a pen for the keycolour. That explains it. But I still don't see the point in using a pen when in fact it *is* the gfx system itself. Why doesn't it just draw RGB data directly?!?

Btw. On what screen type is it 17,0,17? I would naturally assume 255,0,255 otherwise.

Edit: Here it is: p96RectFill(rp, MinX, MinY, MaxX, MaxY, color).
Why on earth doesn't p96 use its own function but instead go through the trouble of trying to allocate, change, and use graphics.library to draw the rectangle?! Must be a legacy leftover.

BTW another bug report regarding your program is here: https://code.google.com/p/mplayer-amigaos/issues/detail?id=4&can=1 .

EDIT:
To make things more clear, after having noticed this thread: even if the conf directory is stored in the same directory where MPlayer is stored, depending on how the MPlayer executable path is set, MPlayer might or might not find that directory. I have managed to find a way to reproduce the problem, right now I'm unable to do so, once I'll get it again I'll let you know.

I understand that you're trying to track this, but regardless...
Most programs I use have to remain in their own directory due to assigns and needs for files in subdirectories.
Personally, I see no problem doing what all these other programs do and just informing in readme to NOT install MPlayer to c:

#6

MPlayer is started with NP_CurrentDir,cd, NP_HomeDir,hd, where cd and hd are derived from the path specified for MPlayer in the GUI. And not to forget, it works for me I specify a full path since I have MPlayer on a different partition than the GUI. Maybe relative paths (or no path) is a problem?
