I get screenshot 1 & 2.
Have I selected the right options ?
Now I ran
Code:

root@bt:~# irw
and pressed all buttons on my remote but I do not get any message in terminal .

Thanks for reading.
Waiting for your suggestions.

Seems , nobody has used the mplayer via remote.
Or - Am I missing something ?
