Mythvideo won't play anything it just says "Loading..." and the file never plays. 

My system is an EPIA-M10000(N) with gentoo and I followed the guide and used the ebuilds from the alterself.com wiki. I have 1 M179 in the box and it and ivtv work like a charm only 20% cpu usage on play back. I have tried several different command lines for mplayer including -vo xv and -vo x11 as well as trying to download the VeXP player and use that instead. I have yet to get mplayer to play anything! either mpeg2 or mpeg4. I have pasted all the out mplayer gives below, it just seems to never start playing. I know the files I am trying to play are fine, they play in my windows box and the particular file below played under mplayer when I had a mandrake setup a while back. I have also tried more than one version of mplayer from portage.

This is the mplayer output:
