Hi, when trying to play video ('mplayer news.ram')
or audio ('mplayer newsradio.ram') - I get the output below.

I'd appreciate help in getting it working.

As I understand it, the main problems are

(1)

> Can't open '/root/.mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory

(2)

> font: can't open file: /root/.mplayer/font/font.desc
> font: can't open file: /usr/share/mplayer/font/font.desc

and

(3)

> Can't open input config file /root/.mplayer/input.conf: No such file 
> or directory

How do I fix these ?
