It uses -vo xv by default - it assumes you have XF86 set up properly to use the acceleration (like the mplayer-xfree86 extension). Since you have a nvidia 32mb card, that shouldn't be a problem. You could also just change the video driver in the options.I don't want to install xfree86. The streams go out of sync.
legalize cannabis, etc.heh, that's interesting.
With video acceleration you usually get much more performance and quality - perhaps something else gets throttled. Doesn't matter I guess if you have things the way you want.

mplayer-1.0pre8cvs.uci does not set a config file when you load it - if it did it would clobber whatever settings lay in an existing config file, and in any case different users may need different settings so I didn't want to set one at all. So with nothing set, I guess it looks for the xv driver.
My examples in the info file for cli and for the config file both set vo=x11
Perhaps the info file should make it clearer that you need to make a config file for use with the gui? All required docs are included in the extension.
BTW mplayer is really designed as a cli program and it's worth getting friendly with the cli options - the gui seems a bit tacked on and has less switches than are available as a cli.New extensions now posted:
