The lack of a specific video output may be the problem. You would have to add a video output when calling mplayer - may be "-vo comp".
Mplayer uses a configuration file in its home directory. It can't select it - it chooses the first one in the list.
I suspect your right about the video driver not being the right one but MPlayer should either default to a driver that works or use the one specified in it's config file. I have the following options in my config file:
# for newer systems and graphics cards
vo=comp_yuv2 # fastest but will slow down a little when OSD is used.
# vo=comp_yuv # fast and will not slow down when OSD is used.
# vo=comp
# vo=sdl # uses SDL library for playback. (platform independent)
# vo=gl # uses OpenGL video output driver.
# for older systems and graphics cards
# vo=comp::rgb
# vo=comp::argb
# vo=cgx_wpa
# vo=p96_pip
I tried all the ones for the newer system on my X1000 with a Radeon HD card and they work. Can't try the drivers for the older systems on my system.
Are you saying that MPlayer running under QEMU doesn't use the config file properly?
Or are you saying you need to pick a driver that is different than the above listed ones?
Also, I'm not sure why PlayOutput works for VooDoo but Preview doesn't.
In VideoClipper I added an "MP_Video_Output" Tooltype so the user can specify which driver to use with MPlayer. I could do the same with SImpleSub. I'd rather not add the selection to the GUI because I'm hoping when a new version of Emotion comes out I can support it as a player as well.
Could you try VideoClipper with the tool type set to what you need for your system and let me know if that works for you?
