I was playing with this last night. It sort of worked, the video started to play, but it was so choppy it wasn't watchable. The weird thing is, now I can't watch videos even outside of X like I always could. I removed the driver, did a rm -rf ~/.mplayer, reinstalled mplayer, still no luck. The video starts to play, but it never gets passed the first frame.
Well, I reinstalled mplayer and all its dependencies, now videos play fine when I use the -nosound option, but without it I still can't get passed the first frame...
Any ideas?
Update: Here's the output when I try to play the Spiderman 2 trailer with sound from pocketmovies.net (this used to work fine):

Another update: I found some .ogm movies over at pocketmatrix.com that work fine. I guess the problem must be with mp3 audio...
