Thanks for the help..
I didn't see anything in the logs, but discovered the info about turning
on debug on:
http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/TroubleShooting
which then output the mplayer command to the console
after playing with the options it turns out it was specifying:
'-autosync' '100' '-nolirc' '-autoq' '100' '-screenw' '800' '-screenh'
'600' '-fs' '-slave' '-ao' 'oss:/dev/dsp' '-v' '-vo' 'xv,sdl,x11,'
'-cache' '5000' '//data/Video/GONE_IN_60_SECONDS.ISO' '-vf' 'pp=de'
and the problem appears to be the '-vo' 'xv,sdl,x11,' Changing this when
manually running the command to -vo x11 seemed to solve the problem...
now I just need to figure out how to make freevo specify this correctly.
I tried using xine but no luck with that either, it was trying to play
my .iso file as a video file and failing! I found the right command line
option needed on the web haven't worked out how to feed that into freevo
yet either ;)
But as my dvd's are ripped to ISO without menus - either player will do,
and I was closer to getting mplayer working

Have a look in the freevo logs, there you will see the command line
used to launch mplayer. Try running that by hand :)
The logs are in /tmp/freevo
In my main-1000.log file, I have entries such as :

You want to try to run the command line part by hand, and start to
take arguments out until it works. The line that starts with
"ChildApp.__init__(),", copy the part after "app=/usr/bin/". So you
would try to run something like :
---- Command Line Example ----
mplayer -slave -autosync 100 -nolirc -autoq 100 -screenw 1024 -screenh
768 -fs -vo null -ao oss:/dev/dsp -demuxer 17
/freevo-links/F-mp3/System of a Down/System_Of_A_Down-Hypnotize BETTER
QUALITY
_(Retail)-2005-XXL/09-system_of_a_down-vicinity_of_obscenity.mp3 -af
export=/tmp/mpav, poll=-1
---- Command Line Example ----
You may want to start out by removing the "-slave" and "-nolirc"
options straight off.
The above example is playing an mp3, but the process is the same.
Also, there should be other log files in there : mplayer-stderr.log
and mplayer-stdout.log. They may also hold the answer....
I have switched to xine for DVD's, because it supports dvd menus etc....

I've finally sorted out a way to archive my DVD's in a way that I am
happy with but when I come to play them, nothing happens.
mplayer works fine on the command line, but launching from freevo
just gives me a black screen and nothing happens.
Anyone got any ideas?
Steve.
