6 It seems mplayer doesn't have the codec required for the WMV format.
7 You should check mplayer has the win32codecs use flag enabled. You can
8 do this with equery or eix (or other equivalent tools).
9
10 equery uses mplayer
11 eix mplayer
12
13 Use the information from the the wiki to help you pick the right flags
14 and required packages:

18 For example, the mplayer output posted in another message has the text:
19
20 Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0".
21 [vdpau] Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 1
22
23 The use flag description for vdpau says:
24
25 + + vdpau : Enables experimental VDPAU support (requires
26 nVidia video cards) to offload MPEG2/MPEG4/VC1/WMV CPU processing to
27 video card
28
29 Since you have an ATI graphics card in this machine, you can safely
30 disable the vdpau use flag.

33 Hope that helps.
