44 I got it to load the mpv file but Celluloid still doesn't do what I
45 want.  I might add, I have yet to figure out how to set such things in
46 the config file either.  It seems there is no such option to put in the
47 file.  Since it doesn't seem to be capable of doing some fairly simple
48 things, I moved on.  I found QMPlay2 and it works fine except that it
49 doesn't close at the end of the video.  It just shows the little icon
50 thing and sits there.  So far, that's the only thing I haven't found a
51 workaround/setting/config for.  I've got everything else to work like it
52 should.  Dang near a drop in replacement for Gnome-player.
53
54 At this point, it seems QMPlay2 is going to be used for a while.  There
55 are others that I like better as far as looks go but they just don't
56 work the way I want and seem to lack the ability to do so.  May give
57 them a try later on.  I wish Celluloid worked but it seems it just isn't
58 there yet.
