Sometimes it does that, but that would happen when I play from the command line, too. And now it even works from Dolphin, when it is set to open mplayer in a terminal. So this cannot be the problem. And even if it were, avoiding thumbnails would be a bad workaround only, such operations should not affect video playback. Maybe this is somehow related to the other problem I had with mplayer2 only, using 100% CPU when idle, only when started from a file manager. Wonko
