That hash suggests that you are running the command as root. Type
`whoami' to make sure.
Unless Francisco has changed his prompt to confuse us all?! :-)
Either way, from what mentioned so far I don't think there is anything wrong
with mplayer. Running applications as root confuses matters and can give
errors not related to running the application as a plain user (which is how it
should run at all times anyway).
The buffering error however, which you have not shown verbatim, could well be
related to very high bufferring limit and or a slow connection (if this is
occurring when you are trying to stream videos - you haven't said).
Can you increase smplayer/mplayer's verbosity in the log and show the exact
error that comes up when being run as a plain user?
