Skins work fine for gmplayer-bin.  Put your skin in ~/.mplayer/skins, just like for mplayer.  The browser will find them, and they will work correctly.  You shouldn't be installing skins system-wide, anyway, in general.

I did find that, if I installed the skin in /opt/mplayer-bin/share/Skins, I could use the skin with the -skin command line option, but they didn't show up in the browser.  The solution is to install them in your homedir.

Daniel thx for your reply but i don't agree with the solution. This skins are from the ebuild mplayer-skins. The ebuild install the skins in /usr/share/mplayer/Skin and works well with gmplayer(mplayer 64bits). I was copy the directory /usr/share/mplayer/Skin to /opt/mplayer-bin/share/Skin/.

I need it, becouse  i cannot use the program's main skin directory and I have to save the skins in each user home directory. And for me is not a solution use the commands because the problem is not the mplayer, the problem is the gui, gmplayer-bin. It cant load the skins in default Skin browser.

If i will update de mplayer-skins i only copy one directory to other. But if i use all home users, i copy the directory to X directorys(x=number of users). If the size of directory are 30mb, i copy the same in x directorys.

But i dont have this problem with gmplayer 64bits version.

mplayer-skins won't work with mplayer-bin.  Maybe at some future point, I'll fix it, but for now, there's no way.  If you really want it to work, you can probably symlink ~/.mplayer/skins to /usr/share/mplayer/Skin
