Hi guys , I have one videoserver that have installed ubuntu 8.04 desktop edition and latest mplayer from the ubuntu repository. I want to connect to this server via ssh , and launch mplayer to playing a file , and sending the output to the server's screen . The server has gnome installed , and so x11. I do this command #mplayer /root/72.mpg -vo help MPlayer 1.0rc2-4.2.3 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7700 @ 2.40GHz (Family: 6, Model: 15, Stepping: 11) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled with runtime CPU detection.

The audio works well , but the video not. During my try i follow 2 way: 1 ) to have root user logged in the gnome and , from another pc , in the ssh console 2) only to have logged the user in the ssh console And the result are the same , no video but audio. Instead if I use this command in a gnome terminal panel: mplayer file.mpg -vo x11 all is ok. Can you help me please?
