Right, so the situation is this: bit rot. mplayer is no longer maintained apparently, the suggested alternative being `mpv`, which *can* be used with `xscreensaver` (see Debian bug#958865 link).
Guess we can close this now, time to migrate over to `mpv`. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1857407 Title: mplayer broken Theora codec: libmpcodecs/vf.c:287: vf_get_image: Assertion `h == -1 || h >= vf->h' failed.
