I've just installed <application>MPlayer</application>. When I want to
open a video file it causes a fatal error:
<screen>
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.

How can I solve my problem?
</para></question>
<answer><para>
Just change your video output device. Issue the following command to get
a list of available video output drivers:
<screen>
mplayer -vo help
</screen>
After you've chosen the correct video output driver, add it to
your configuration file. Add
<programlisting>
vo = <replaceable>selected_vo</replaceable>
</programlisting>
to <filename>~/.mplayer/config</filename> and/or
<programlisting>
vo_driver = <replaceable>selected_vo</replaceable>

synchronization, demultiplexing etc is different and should not be

The KDE arts sound daemon is blocking the sound device. Either wait until the
video starts or disable the arts-daemon in control center. If you want to use
arts sound, specify audio output via our native arts audio driver
(<option>-ao arts</option>). If it fails or isn't compiled in, try SDL
(<option>-ao sdl</option>) and make sure your SDL can handle arts sound. Yet
another option is to start <application>MPlayer</application> with artsdsp.
