I've tried to see some mp4 videos using gnome-player in Wily, to my surprise I've discovered that it doesn't work at all: in fact, it can't display anything, only the audio is reproduced.
The same videos can be played with zero isssues in VLC and mplayer as well, which is IMHO surprising as gnome-mplayer should be -as I understand- just a GUI frontend for mplayer.
I've tried already to set different video output modules and also specified the actual path to the mplayer executable, which has made no difference at all.
I have mplayer2 2.0-728-g2c378c7-4build1 and gnome-mplayer 1.0.9-3build1 installed.
Is gnome-mplayer broken or am I missing something to make it actually work?
