I am getting trouble here with video out option in my computer. I am using Ubuntu operating system in my machine. I want to make my video out option to be enabled. But I don’t know how to do that. I am getting an error message here like below screen shot- Â
Fatal error!
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device

Hello!
Â
If you are using M-Player for your Ubuntu system:
Open M-Player
Right click on the main window   Â
Click on preferences
Click OK on "Please remember that you need to restart playback for some options to take effect".
Click on the video Tab
Different files such as .flv will work on a specific driver:
(.flv will work on x11 and so forth)
Â
type 'mplayer -vo help' on the terminal to get a list of valid video output devices. Specify them manually using 'mplayer -vo <device> <file>'.Â
Â
In order to avoid typing the full command everytime, just edit the config fileÂ
gedit $HOME/.mplayer/config
Â
add this as another line:
vo=xv
Â
Have fun with your MPlayer!
Â
Â
Hope this helps!Â
