Really? I thought we had to use the default Mplayer as is.
If I had known that, I would have been making some serious changes myself.

Oh yes I see, its under player in my FTP heirachy lol.. I never spotted that before.. Hmmmm

Time for a tinker I think!

Ya learn something new every day.

If I find out anything that will help you get your load bar sorted, I'll let ya know! :D
