[gentoo-user] opening movies in the current mplayer window

Hello.
I am using kde-3.5.6 and gmplayer as frontend to mplayer 1.0rc1-4.1.2. When I 
doubleclick on the video file, it is opened in new mplayer window. Is there 
any ways to make it be played in already runned mplayer instead of previously 
opened movie, like it do MS Windows video players?

You might drag it to the open mplayer.

There's no obvious way of doing this with gmplayer, but as you're using
KDE, you can do it with kmplayer by using this script to load the video
file

#!/bin/sh

PLAYER=$(dcop kmplayer-* | head -n 1)
if [[ ${PLAYER} ]]; then
	dcop ${PLAYER} KMediaPlayer openURL "$1"
else
	kmplayer "$1"
	fi
