But my configuration is Ubuntu Karmic and I believe the video intel drivers also may be a cause for the issue bcos it also shows up X11 error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) most of the time while loading video. So I would like to move on to SDL with DGA instead and direct the mplayer output to this window. I need to create a SDL surface within a GTK window which is a top level window at a fixed position on the screen. Then map the SDL surface window Id to mplayer for displaying video on to it. I tried the window Id hack (gtk-demo) & Example on how to output Mplayer video on SDL windows (gtksdl) but SDL opens its own window after the SDL_SetVideoMode call and then the display goes back into the GTK window. My requirement is just to have a SDL window at a fixed position within a top level GTK window and pass the window Id of this sdl window to mplayer which then will take care of the rest. Vijay.
