It tries directx, tries X11 and vidix, then finally settles on:

NULL!

So, your copy of MPlayer isn't outputting video at all.

But from command line:

I think that Visual Studio runs the app from within an environment that
does not give it permission to use DirectX.  Can't explain why this
might be so.  But I see the same behavior on my system if I try to
execute MPlayer (or any other graphical app) when connected to my cygwin
system via ssh.

In any case, -wid isn't even a concern yet.  You have no VO running.
