mp3 file opened via Dolphin in Mplayer plays hidden and can not be controlled
i do not see the player tab or window anywhere and the keyboard keys to play/stop controls the Audacious not Mplayer.
When i do command “sudo pkill -f mplayer”, then the playback stops. I tried multiple mp3 files.
The Media Player icon in the system tray has playback controls, and if you install the Win7 Volume Mixer widget, that too can be configured to show playback controls.
