mplayer -vo error
  • ayazayaz May 2010
    downloaded stable ver. 3.0 and installed it to hard drive

    It automatically installed the mPlayer when I clike play movie in the menu

    But now whenever I try to play a .wmv movie only audio comes and it gives the error:

    Fatal error!
    Error opening/initializing the selected videoout (-vo ) device

    I used the command
    mplayer -vo xv
    and

    mplayer -vo x11
    but still I am getting the same error.

    I installed mplayer by hand and I do not use .wmv files - so just a question? - are the codecs installed (i have no idea if wmv is included)

    as root type:

    tazpkg get-install mplayer-codecs

    Don't use the -vo. This should play video files too. I also had problems playing video files using vo=gl in my mplayer.conf. After I removed it I had no problems any more with mplayer.
