Mplayer doesn't play video in text console

I am trying to use mplayer in my text-based console/terminal without the X window system. When I play a video, the sound is fine but the video output just shows a few text characters moving and that's it, no video. Is there something I must type after the mplayer command or set a certain preference for graphics/video?
My xorg.conf file has:
Driver "intel"
VendorName "Intel Corporation"
BoardName "82810E DC-133 (CGC) Chipset Graphics Controller"
And the output for mplayer -vo help is:

Satellite 2800-500 DVD doesn't play video DVD-ROM SD-R2002

My DVD doesn't play videos . CD rom works fine. but when I put DVD it makes a sound as if it would play , the drive's light would stay on but the DVD would not play. I live in Europe and the regional settings is at 2 which is ok.The DVDs play on another PC. I am running Windows ME. Any suggestions please? Is there anywhere to download the driver for Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-R2002.
thanks all.
Tammy

Hi tammy,
did you installed a DVD Softwareplayer like WinDVD or something else?
If yes, which is it? Does it play DVDs in the past without problems?
Do you want to play original DVDs or backup copies?

Firefox doesn't play video and audio, cann't download anything!

A very strange problem occurred a few days ago. I didn't pay attention on it at first ( I thought it was caused by my provider) but now I found that it's a real problem. Firefox doesn't play video or audio. For instance, it starts loading and that's all. The same is with playing music. In addition, I can't download any files and view a big image as quick as early.
What is more interesting sometimes Firefox just begins to work in ordinary way.

There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs (there are at least four that I'm aware of, none of which have been ported to Mac OS X) or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime.
If you want to try "hit and miss", you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you. Perian, which rolls several codecs into one package, might also work.
If you just want to play the movie any way you can, you can also give this player a try:

QuickTime Problem. Doesn't play video.avi.

I have updated the system up to the latest - Maverick. After that QuickTime Player doesn't play video.avi. I have tried restarting the app - worthless. Yet, it has been showing 'Converting' for 30 mins. Please, help!

Hello, thank you for your reply. I have several more questions if you don't mind.
1. Does it always take that long to convert a file (more than 30 mins)? It seems that it doesn't work. It stops at the beginning and than nothing changes.
2. Since when QuickTime needs convertation for avi? I thought this is a standart format.
3. How can I use QuickTime 7?
Here is what I see during 30 mins.
Thank you beforehand!

Safari doesn't play video

Just unpacked my new iMac, updated software and run the Safari. Safari doesn't play video (tutorials) on apple.com. Still, I can hear audio well.
Please help.

Hi Nels, I had the same problem, and I have discovered the solution, it´s fairly simple:
Go to: Safari / Preferences click on the tab extensions and there you will probably have extensions set to ON, you just have to turn extensions OFF (the alternative plugin (DivX) is causing this video error.
greets!

Photo Booth doesn't play videos anymore

Hi all
Today I realized that, on my iMac Core Duo, Photo Booth doesn't play videos it record ( I saw the thumbnails but screen remains black when I select one) while they can be played by any other player on the computer, and from iphoto and imovie as well if I export them, all after the Mountain Lion update.
The issue doesn't occur with my MacBook Pro i7, with approximately same software installed but I can't find a solution anyway.
Can you help me please? I'm a huge fan of Photo Booth
Thank you

Hello volkerfromessen and everyone else
now i have problems with the drag and drop background effect. i can't drop images there anymore. : / haven't found any thread on here talking about this issue.
i'm afraid such issues on photobooth will become more often with time. i'm kind of hopeless that apple will fix it soon.
i haven't had any problem with Lion. but Mountain Lion has been a pain in the ***!

Update: The iBook can play any 480p video and higher if I encode them with DivX and in AVI format. But of course this is not compatible with my iPhone 4. At least I can shrink my library now and get away from the full MPEG-2s. I don't get why I can't use Apple's h264 though. There has to be a setting I am missing. The sample Apple h264 videos from the days of Tiger worked flawlessly on my iBook when it was new so the CPU must be capable of decoding it. I really can't understand this.
Also, since I made my videos in English for my family, I had to create soft subtitles for my wife's Chinese family, and I can't get players like QT with perian or MPlayerX to sync them properly to an AVI encoded with DivX, they only sync well with the iPhone 4 m4v/mp4 formatted files I made. This is a real pickle.
So now I may need three or four copies of each video, LOL. I need to hardcode the subtitles if I want to use AVI to playback on older machines, and keep the mp4 file for the iDevices too, while keeping higher quality h264 videos for my American relatives...
If h264 is compatible with my iBook, what is the proper encoding settings? Must I dramatically lower the settings or frame rate? I can settle on 2 copies of each video that way. One iBook/G4/eMac compatible video that syncs correctly with my srt soft subs, and another version that works well with my iPhone 4 and iPad.
All in all, I will end up with more than 3 or 4 version of each video. On my late G5 dual core I have the full 720-1080p uncompressed master files. On my i5 iMac I have the h264 compressed versions for distribution, and lower versions for my iDevices. Now I need to keep either full MPEG-2 files for the iBook to play, or convert to older formats like DivX AVI for our family's legacy machines. I am running out of hard disk space quick now, LOL.
Is there an easier way?

What I found out is that the user can play videos from console with framebuffer at least. Not that it helps..

Real Nokia 5610 doesn't play Video in QVGA at 30fp...

Hi all, I really disappoint that my Nokia 5610 doesn't play any resolution of video at 30fps, even i've tried whatever bitrate, whatever resolution (QVGA, QCIF, ...), whatever audio bitrate, it still can't play back smoothly with 30fps, onlt 15fps it supports. So why Nokia provide such imperfect information to us. My friend 5610 also can't playback 30fps, QVGA.

Umm, this is interesting...

Firefox ver 31 latest doesn't play videos -

Firefox will not play videos in or out of U-Tube. . All videos play in I.E. ver 11.0.10 without an issue
In Firefox I get a large black square that reduces to a black bar and then when I place the cursor in the area where the video should be I see a flashing rotating circle.
Just updated Firefox Ver 31RC1 today 7-16-14

On the MSN site, could you open the Web Console (Ctrl+Shift+k) in the lower part of the tab and click Network, then try a video in the upper part of the tab? Click the Size column a couple times to bring the largest items to the top and watch for the player.swf file to load and then see whether any media files load. Sample screen shot attached.
Anything?

The new nano doesn't play video anymore?

i'm confused? the first, second and third nano played video and had a camera....the new one doesn't

"Any other ideas?"
Yes, contact Apple. According to their own website...
http://www.apple.com/accessibility/itunes/hearing.html
"Captioned Movies on iPod
iPod models that support video — including iPod classic, iPod nano (3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th generation), and iPod touch — can also display captions when present in the content. Captions display in a high-contrast white-on-black font that’s easy to read."
The 6th generation Nano plays video. Plus the fact that the email their accessibility team has sent in response to my question...
"On your hearing page, closed captioning for videos refers to the newest nano, is this correct?" seems to confirm very clearly...
"Hi,
Thank you for the email. That information is correct, if the video content you have synced from iTunes contains closed caption information you can enable closed captioning. One thing to note, the new iPod Nano (6th Generation) will only sync music video content only.
Apple Accessibility"
Perhaps there is some special format to Apple Music videos that I am not aware of, but it seems as though changing the tag should allow it to sync. Perhaps it's an update away?

IPhone 4 doesn't play video

Ever since I updated to iOS 7 my phone has lag like I've never seen. All around the phone is slow now but it didn't bother me too much. What bothed me the most was that when my phone tries to play video from anywhere (YouTube, camera roll, email) it will play it in 1 or less fps as if I was just watching a slideshow. My brother has the same phone and same problem when he updated but I thought it was just his phone until I updated too.

it seems the router is working fine. My laptop and my brother's phone is also working fine. So, why me?
