[MPlayer-users] Could not find matching colorspace

[Jongi]

Hi,

I am running Debian Sid.

I have a video of my daughter at a school event. When I run mplayer on 
the mkv file, I get the following:

Playing /mnt/mythtv/media/Video/Video.mkv.
libavformat file format detected.
[lavf] stream 0: video (h264), -vid 0

VIDEO:  [H264]  768x576  0bpp  1000.000 fps    0.0 kbps ( 0.0 kbyte/s)

The selected video_out device is incompatible with this codec.
Try appending the scale filter to your filter list,
e.g. -vf spp,scale instead of -vf spp.

.They also repeat for a while before I Ctrl-C

(I should clean out the older files)

I have an i686 sid install with same if not similar version number 
packages for mplayer, gstreamer and ffmpeg and it has no issue with the 
same file.

$ dpkg -l | grep mplayer
