Did this behavior differ in any earlier version of MPlayer you've tried? I think it shouldn't (unless you somehow compiled them with a different list of supported VOs). Anyway I fixed at least one possible cause of this: if all the usual VOs fail (for example because there's a reason the X display cannot be opened) then it moved to more obscure console VOs, and those misbehaved when opening them failed. > I was delighted to find that git mplayer doesn't try to play window > manager and override where the window manager places the new window. > that's been one of my oldest grumbles. The biggest reason I changed the default behavior was ordered chapter support. When moving between chapters from different files the display is reinitialized, and in that case the forced re-centering of the window got _really_ annoying.
