apt worked fine, and i installed mplayer and every thing went well, but in some cases i could not see the video live streaming, i just get the sound, does any one have any idea ??
does the apt installation include gui, osd and menu in it or you have to install it separately ?

Regards
Neyaz

I just installed using the apt and when I try to start Mplayer from the command line i get this any ideas would be greatly appreciate.

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: unknown
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.
