I don't think that's the issue here ... we were talking about having an RPM automatically install something to a user's home directory. Now if you were installing an RPM you'd be logged in as root, so even if it were to install something to $HOME it would be installing to root's home, right?
I think I have found the way around this, When you log on as root from the terminal and issue this command $HOME it shows /root but if you issue this command $USER it produces the user named at which is currently logged into X not who's logged into bash.
We should be able to do something like /home/$USER/ which would point to the current users home directory! I'll get the rpm together to auto install the terminal profile and a modified version of PS3MoviePlayer Script to get this working through the GUI gnome-mplayer. All setup automatically by rpm.
Currently to get multithread working in gnome-mplayer its as easy as going to preferences and there is a box for you to point to the mplayer binary and one for optional commands, You just point it to /usr/bin/mplayer and add the option -lavdopts threads=2 and this will make gnome-mplayer execute mplayer with multithread support for every video you load using it.
I think I am about to build gnash with ffmpeg multithread support and see if it actually becomes usable
If so I will work an rpm up for us all....
I'll work on all this in a bit, I am currently rebuilding libgpod and gtkpod along with rhythmbox and deps again. Keep me posted and let me know when this mplayer build is up on the test repo.
