I get nothin' but the file details as it plays along in my terminal - no video output.If you're playing it from dsl try the -vo (video out) option.
For framebuffer try -vo fbdev.
For vesa try -vo vesa.
Either of which should give you something like.. mplayer -vo vesa filename.aviSorry for bringing this here. I don't want to make an issue with it. But I think this is meant for DSL. I just found that LuitLinux site has released Mplayer to be installed on DSL. And ya, it has specifically mentioned about DSL. I still havn't downloaded it yet. I think I will wait a while to see if other's can really make it run without a problem. The site has also released a screenshot of mplayer running under DSL. http://luitlinux.sarovar.org/screenshots/mplayer2.jpgWorks like a hot damn. Using an HD install, as super-user, just untar them both in the / directory, and then run it. Set your -vo device properly (should be the X11) and your audio out if necessary, then enjoy.

Really? Has anyone verified that this works? 'Cause I was under the impression that you had to have XFree86 installed for -vo x11 to work properly.Next Page...
