Yea, I thought about suggesting a debian section but changed my mind since it would just complicate things and plenty of debian forums exist already.

I only stuck this tip here because it was something you could do in refracta although not likely something someone would do.

If I had to vote then I would actually vote for this forum being specifically about how to use refracta as-is rather than as-could-be. Maybe instead of being the howto section it could be 'using refracta' or something similar.

Thanks. It is not a "must-have" for me, and it's good that i don't need to search for something which does not exist.

You can control mplayer's message verbosity with the -msglevel flag (which you can also permanently set in $HOME/.mplayer/config ):

man mplayer wrote: -msglevel <all=<level>:<module>=<level>:...>
Control verbosity directly for each module. The 'all' module changes the verbosity of all the modules not explicitly specified
on the command line. See '-msglevel help' for a list of all modules.
NOTE: Some messages are printed before the command line is parsed and are therefore not affected by -msglevel. To control these
messages you have to use the MPLAYER_VERBOSE environment variable, see its description below for details.
Available levels:
-1 complete silence
0 fatal messages only
1 error messages
2 warning messages
3 short hints
4 informational messages
5 status messages (default)
6 verbose messages
7 debug level 2
8 debug level 3
9 debug level 4
