I recently downloaded and installed the rpms for mplayer onto my Fedora
Core 1 system. At first I was getting the error, "Error
opening/initializeing the selected video_out (-vo) device, but I found
online that I could change the vo setting in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf
file, line 11 to x11. It worked for a couple of days, but then it
started giving me some error about using up too much of the CPU. I went
back into the /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf file this evening to try working
around it. I found it set back to vo again. I changed it to x11 (which
worked before), but I keep getting this same Error opening/initializing
video_out (-vo) device error. It seems like it isn't realizing that
I've changed the setting. Is there something else I have to do? Do I
have to restart some mplayer server or something to fix this? Please
help!
