[MPlayer-users] GUI default volume

[David Shochat]

I recently rebuilt mplayer (with gui) from version (version 1.2 on an
Ubuntu 15.10 system, using the skin "standard", version 1.11). I'm now
noticing that when I start by using the gmplayer command, the volume starts
out at zero. I can increase the volume during playback using the GUI volume
wheel or the keyboard ('*') but the next time I start it we're back to
zero. What can I do so that I'll have a nonzero default volume using the
GUI? When I use mplayer (no gui) it seems to remember the volume I set.

Change the skin's default volume (file 'skin') from 0 to the value you want:

rpotmeter = NULL, 0, 0, volume, 51, 10, 35, 29, 35, 0, 311, 17, 40, 40, evSetVolume
^
default volume

Thanks, but it is already set to 51.​

​In fact that entire line is exactly as you indicated.

Seems your font messed up the alignment on Ingos mail.

The 0 you need to change is the one between 35 and 311.

Bingo! I copied his original text into emacs (fixed-width font) and saw
how his response was supposed to look: exactly as you say. I changed
that 0 to 50 and achieved the desired result. Thank you. One question:
Where is this documented?
