opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) deviceNow, I had not chose one. I even deleted my ~/.mplayer folder but nothing, it got stucked there. It's strange, because mplayer should have chosen automatically http://thegreyblog.blogspot.com/2009/06/mplayer-error-openinginitializing.html a video_out device on startup and I swear I never had this problem before on my Debian/testing.In fact, I had just reinstalled a Debian/testing distribution on Sun xVM VirtualBox on a Solaris Express Community Edition host, because I'm using it as a platform for video transcoding. I'd like to do that on Solaris but I haven't found the time to recompile at least ffmpeg, if error opening not mplayer and all of its dependencies. Blastwave's ffmpeg, indeed, is way too old and I found some bugs that prevented it doing its job. Until then, and thanks to VirtualBox, I'll use Debian/testing instead.Now, the solution's pretty easy but I'd like to rely on autoprobing...
