[MPlayer-users] A N00b's Telnet Woes

[kilg0r3]

hi, i am currently trying to start mplayer from a remote machine by using a telnet console. However, while mplayer works fine when started locally, it throughs the attached messages when I start it via telnet. As it seems it does not find the video card of the remote machine and then tries to use the terminal window for video output.
I suspect that the solution is in the docs but I am not at all familiar with the terminology making it hard for me to find the right starting point. So, I would be very glad if someone could just point me in the right direction.

I am using Windows XP and the mplayer-cvs-2003-03-24 version of mplayer

Thank you very much.



Here is the somewhat abridged version of mplayer's output:
