GNOME Mplayer: “Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so” error
When I open an avi file under Gnome Mplayer, there is an error report:
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I then followed this blog to solve this problem, which suggests two ways.
The first way is to call mplayer in terminal:
mplayer -vo xv video.wmv
This works for me.
But I would like to try the second way, which is to call GUI version of Gnome Mplayer by writing some options in one of the configure files of Gnome Mplayer. I choose to write into ~/.mplayer/config, where I wrote:
-vo xv
But it does not work. So I was wondering if I make any mistake? What to write into the configure file?
Thanks and regards!
ADDED:
I followed fragos's reply, by replacing the original command "gnome-mplayer %U " with "gnome-mplayer -vo xv %U " in its item in the Applications menu. But this fails to call the Gnome Mplayer. Any idea why? Thanks!
