Apologies for not having included at least that. The system is an up-to-date Debian testing Linux. In my set-up mplayer is running with input from a fifo into which the video data is streamed by another program: mplayer -slave -quiet -input nodefault-bindings:conf=/dev/null -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo fps=25:w=2500:h=2000:y8 -vf bmovl=0:1:bmovlfifo streamfifo The following simplified command-line reproduces the problem with the same mplayer output (up to details concerning bmovl which is not included here). It should execute as is on a Linux system: mplayer -quiet -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo fps=10:w=2500:h=2000:y8 /dev/zero yielding the following output: MPlayer SVN-r30656 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team Can't open joystick device /dev/input/js0: No such file or directory Can't init input joystick mplayer: could not connect to socket mplayer: No such file or directory Failed to open LIRC support.
