Ok, I got it working using "mplayer -vo xv <video file>".... However, I see no menu. I use the command line version. Can I just put this in the config file in the .mplayer directory? If so, what syntax does it use? It also isn't playing with mplayer-plugin in firefox. When I make this setting perm, will it then play the file?
