gmplayer cannot show video in xfce4

2009-06-19 Thread Carmel NY
When I start mplayer (gmplayer) from within xfce4 and attempt to play a
video, I receive an error message. The audio portion works fine however.

The screen-shot of the error message is viewable here:

http://imagebin.ca/view/OdMEXlY.html

What is strange is that the video was working until I modified the
PolicyKit.conf file. This is the modification I added. I substituted
'me' for the actual users name.

match action=org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable
  match user=me
return result=yes/
  /match
/match

match action=org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed
  match user=me
return result=yes/
  /match
/match

match user=me
return result=yes/
/match 

If I remove the modifications, I cannot mount a CD. Is there something
else I should be or not be doing here?

Somehow hal manages to break -vo xv ? Try with mplayer and see full
error message.
What video driver are you using?

I am using the 'nv' driver.

Using mplayer from the console does not produce an error. Of course,
all I get is the audio track. No error message is displayed.

So, if I use hal I lose the ability to view videos? That kind of sucks.
Obviously, someone must know about it so I assume submitting a bug
report would be a waste of time.

Not from console; from xterm. And if xv is not available, x11 is just
fine(but slow).

Now, the video did display and the audio is present. So why does it work

And how gmplayer can have anything to do with hal?

From other perspective; gmplayer is no longer maintained and probably
will be removed in future, users should switch to smplayer.
