i have installed mplayer from : http://www.debian-multimedia.org 
sid/main Packages

debian:/home/mha13/Desktop# apt-cache policy mplayer
mplayer:
 Installed: 1:1.0-pre8-0.1

 Version table:
*** 1:1.0-pre8-0.1 0

but when i try to open flv videos i get :
when opening using open with :
Error opening/initlizing the selected video_output(-vo) device.
and if i open from the command line :

and lots more of this same error.
