OK I'm failing miserably here... Doesn't help that I'm pretty new to all of this
I tried to install mplayer using apt-get install mplayer, however on Jessie it installs mplayer2 instead as its a "newer" version
If I then run the command, initially it complains about a lack of input.conf, then I get the following message
root@RPi-TVHE:/etc# mplayer /dev/video0

Given I've probably made a mess of my configuration, I'm tempted to start a fresh.
Do you have a source / location for the install of FFMPEG and other required packages you have used (I compiled mine, following an online guide, however not sure whether the configuration settings might be causing issues.)
I'm beginning to wish I took some notes now... ;-)
Anyhow thanks for any pointers you can provide, much appreciated.
