GNOME-MPlayer Error: (VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so)

Error: Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The above error occurred in my gnome-mplayer in Fedora 13 (I didn't get this error in Ubuntu 10.04) and I guess the problem is that I don't have the resource that it is looking for as its output. If you have NVIDIA Video driver you may have not encountered with the problem.

However, a little setting can sort out the problem as follows;

• Open Edit -> Preferences or just press CTRL + P
• That will open up the preferences and select the "Player" tab
• Select (or enter) "xv" (without quotes) for the Video Output
• Close preferences and try to open the video file again.

Your problem should have been resolved.

Good Luck!!!
