Mplayer


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

How are you playing the file? From command? Any output or error messages?

Yes you can play mplayer from Gnome or any Desktop/Window Manager, you just need to enable the gui when compiling.

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?

I wonder why it's using that...

Try the following:
mplayer -vo xv filename.mpg

And alternatively:
mplayer -vo x11 filename.mpg

To enable the gui, check around the board, there are literally (probably) over 100 threads on it

Cool

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
