Hi,
i installed MPlayer 0.91 (tar.bz2 version), but if i play a MPEG file i could only hear without watching.
Am i doing something wrong?
Can i use the same player also using gnome?
Thank'you. Franco
Well when you play the file, there is some sort of output in the terminal. Do you see anything regarding video or video output at all? Can you post that output when its playing the file, etc?
Ok, after mplayer filename.mpg this is what it writes:

Is this what you need to help me?
Could you please also teach me how to run it in graphical mode?
Originally posted by MasterC I wonder why it's using that...
ahh c'mon chad haven't i taught you anything
99% sure that mplayer has been compiled from source WITHOUT having the relevant XFree86-devel package installed. This means that X11 and XV outputs are not availble, and so MPlayer will then fall back to fbdev as a last resort, which also failed here.... so install xfree86-devel and recompile mplayer
