Do you mean in the gnome-mplayer preferences?
I am pretty sure I haven't changed anything regarding this.
However, I see that I have all those emulation options (QuickTime
Emulation, RealPlayer Emulation, Windows Media Player Emulation, DiVX
Player Emulation) disabled!

I tried to enable all of those emulation options, but the result is not
different, even after restarting iceweasel...

Where is the user configuration file for gnome-mplayer?
I mean: which file(s) should I move out of the way, in order to start
with a new gnome-mplayer profile (without creating a new user on my
box)?


P.S.: I dropped the moreinfo tag, as I think I replied to your
questions; of course, should you further need additional information,
feel free to re-add the tag...
