SOLUTION: place options in /root/.mplayer/config

On the command line I can make Mplayer repeat an mp3 by using an argument "loop 5" but I would like to place loop=5 in a config file so everything I play will repeat by default. Reckon I'll notice it with movies, in time to halt. Laughing

There seem to be two empty config files associated with Mplayer,

/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf
/etc/mplayerplug-in.conf

but whatever I put in there has no effect.

Any ideas for its config file?

Thanks, typical of me in the Snow Puppy there is a VLC player instead but that maybe works on that one too. I have to test

VLC was more easy than what I thought. Pref and playlist and one tell it to show all and there is a box that says Current item if one tick that box it repeat the current item. That was good. I only had to look for it.
