No, it doesn't have to be mplayer, it just seemed that it was the most 
commonly installed player.

Yes, I did look at this and - because I am very fairly new to the World 
of C++, never mind KDE - I couldn't understand what it was doing! It 
looks a lot more complex that my app needs to be. In fact I have 
downloaded a few lots of source code that use QXEmbed and I couldn't 
fathom what they were doing. A lot of them just seemed to replicate what 
was in the qxembed.cpp file.
