Unfortunately I am travelling at the moment and can not tell whether the version I have is the UK or a US one. I can only say that it is not the German version. I have a vague feeling though, that my version does have an option for MPlayer sessions as well. I will check this, thanks for the hint! By the way, should the patch check which CM7K version it is applied on (I mean in other ways than just reporting wpt0036 warnings in the patch.err file)? > >The team tells me that a patch is in the works for the UK version, and PROBABLY >for the German version.
