+Similar to the problem above, you have an old version of
+<filename>codecs.conf</filename> in
+<filename class="directory">~/.mplayer/</filename>,
+<filename class="directory">/etc/</filename>,
+<filename class="directory">/etc/mplayer</filename>,
+<filename class="directory">/usr/local/etc/</filename> or similar. Remove it,
+it's not needed anymore.
+Newer Mplayer versions can't work with an old codecs.conf file because the
+FourCC for Vobis has been changed recently. If you have an old codecs.conf
+lying around somewhere then it doesn't contain this new FourCC.
+Therefore no playback.

 When starting <application>MPlayer</application> under KDE I just get a black
 screen and nothing happens. After about one minute the video starts playing.
