Well, I can get the video podcasts to play, however, I need to remove 
the xvmc option from MPLAYER_VO_DEV in order to get them to play, they 
will only play with xv (which makes sense).

my local_conf.py has:

if CONF.display == 'x11':
     MPLAYER_VO_DEV = 'xvmc,xv,sdl,x11' # X11 drivers in order of
else:
     MPLAYER_VO_DEV = CONF.display  # e.g.: x11,mga,fbdev, see mplayer

MPLAYER_ARGS = { 'dvd'    : '-cache 8192',
                  'mpg'    : '-cache 5000 -vc ffmpeg12mc'

I add -vc ffmpeg12mc for "mpg" files, all the mpg files are my HD 
content (MPEG2).

I need both xvmc and ffmpeg12mc for mpg files to play, but xvmc doesn't 
work for flv files.

I do see that in mplayer.py, there is code to handle xvmc and ffmpeg12mc 
options, however, I'm not able to figure out how to get set_vcodec to 
activate.

from
mplayer.py

        set_vcodec = False
         if item['xvmc'] and item['type'][:6] in 
['MPEG-1','MPEG-2','MPEG-T']:
             set_vcodec = True

         # Mplayer command and standard arguments
         if set_vcodec:
             if item['deinterlace']:
                 bobdeint='bobdeint'
             else:
                 bobdeint='nobobdeint'
             command += ['-vo', 'xvmc:%s' % bobdeint, '-vc','ffmpeg12mc']
         else:
             command += ['-vo',config.MPLAYER_VO_DEV + 
config.MPLAYER_VO_DEV_OPTS]

If I could figure out how to get mplayer.py to set_vcodec, then I could 
remove xvmc from MPLAYER_VO_DEV to get both to work.

Thanks for any advice.
