I had these information from 
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1.html#INTERACTIVE%20CONTROL

Yes that was a typo
I was unable to get subtitles visible.

Only ISO's from DVD's no seperated subtitles or thing like that.

I now, but this is not a problem all of my dvd ISO's do not contain Menu's

Yes I think so I read thrue the Knoppmyth Change log and found the
following.

4-25-05 Updated MPlayer to 1.0pre6a (with nuv and Unichrome patch).
5-1-05 Recompiled MPlayer.
05-18-06 Updated mplayer-resume.pl
So I probably have 1.0pre6a which is quite antique.

So any do's and don't for a linux newbie upgrading mplayer under knoppmyth.

Are saying that the b/j discribet to Cycle through the available subtitles.
Are not working out of the box.

Not an issue with my situation.
