Do you have a stray <filename>codecs.conf</filename> file in
<filename>~/.mplayer/</filename>, <filename>/etc/</filename>,
<filename>/usr/local/etc/</filename> or a similar location? Remove it,
outdated <filename>codecs.conf</filename> files can cause obscure problems
and is intended for use only by developers.
For instance, the FourCC for Vobis has been changed recently.
If you have an old <filename>codecs.conf</filename> lying around somewhere
then it doesn't contain this new FourCC.
Therefore no playback.
Unless you intend to get involved in developing <application>MPlayer</application>,
it cannot do you any good and should be deleted.
<application>MPlayer</application> will use its built-in one instead.

Similar to the problem above, you have an old version of
<filename>codecs.conf</filename> in
<filename class="directory">~/.mplayer/</filename>,
<filename class="directory">/etc/</filename>,
<filename class="directory">/etc/mplayer</filename>,
<filename class="directory">/usr/local/etc/</filename> or similar. Remove it,
it's not needed anymore.
Newer Mplayer versions can't work with an old codecs.conf file because the
FourCC for Vobis has been changed recently. If you have an old codecs.conf
lying around somewhere then it doesn't contain this new FourCC.
Therefore no playback.
