can mplayer play flash? Messages sorted by: [ date ] http://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2004-July/046605.html [ thread ] [ subject ] [ http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-linux/158109-error-opening-initializing-selected-video_out-vo-device.html author ] I recently downloaded and installed the rpms for mplayer onto my Fedora Core 1 system. At first I was getting the error, "Error opening/initializeing the selected video_out (-vo) device, error opening but I found online that I could change the vo setting in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf file, line 11 to x11. It worked for a couple of days, but then it started giving me some error about using up too much of error opening initializing the CPU. I went back into the /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf file this evening to try working around it. I found it set back to vo again. I changed it to x11 (which worked before), but I keep getting this same Error opening/initializing video_out (-vo) device error. It seems like it isn't realizing that I've changed the setting. Is there something else I have to do? Do I have to restart some mplayer server or something to fix this? Please help! Previous message: [MPlayer-users] can mplayer play flash?

When I attempt to play a store-bought dvd using mplayer I get the following error: Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. I found that some folks were editing their .mplayer/gui.conf file to read vo_driver = "x11" and were having success with it. The link to that thread is here : Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. [Archive] - Ubuntu Forums my .mplayer/gui.conf file reads vo_driver="xmga" changing xmga to x11 doesn't help. I'm running 64bit Karmic. Anyone have any ideas?
