    It looks like it's working just fine. You just need to give mplayer a filename
    or URL as argument:

    >> Usage: mplayer [options] [url|path/]filename

    If you want the GUI I believe you need to invoke the program as 'gmplayer',
    though you may need to download a skin from www.mplayerhq.com
