are you sure you have the needed codecs? get the "all" codecs package from mplayer's homepage (download section) first...

EDIT: now that I tried it myself, I could neither get wmv video work with my mplayer. something got it jammed..anyway, Xine opened it all right.

I have had a few problems with mplayer and .wmv's. If you have the right codecs try using xine, it seems to work fine for me.
