MPlayer problems

[Olaf Olson]

Wow. Nice error message. Guess we know exactly what's wrong now, right? 
I was hoping that there would be some kind of return error that would 
guide someone down the path. I use xine for all of my video playing on 
my G3. yum can install that, too. Don't know if the solution will work 
for you, but I like it and usually get better results than I did with 
mplayer.
