[MPlayer-users] Re: mplayer flickers in firefox while loading / menu options, disappeared

[Martin Pullen]

Hi,

I had the same problems under ubuntu, i guess that it's a problem in the
mplayerplug-in, in ~/.mplayer/mplayerplug-in.conf there is a line: 
"vo=xv,x11". After removing xv the flickering stopped.
