Turns outhat even though the config file is setting vo to xv, mplayerses x11 driver. In fact Iried all drivers listed by the command mplayer -vo help,xcept x11, as the driver to use in the config file. Mplayereems to completely ignore the config file setting and uses x11 driver (which works). But if I invoke gnome-mplayer,hen the setting in the config file seems toake effect. Thus, with config fileet to xv, mplayer ignores it, whereas gnome-mplayerxtracts it and explicitly passes it as an argument to mplayer. This isimilar to the behaviour of explicitly specifying -vo xv onhe command line (i.e. no video is played). I will haveo build latest mplayer from source.
