Thanks for info, grabbed it right away.

MPlayer is one of my all time favorite software, but the screen blanking prevents me from utilizing it fully. (and the KMPlayer doesn't offer wide range of playback options). Is there any known way to get rid of the screen blanking?

The most simple is:
$ mplayer <path to file>

But there's lots and lots optional flags to adjust playback from drawing the video with ASCII charachters to flipping around the image, selecting subtitles and whatever.

Few basic ones you see by typing mplayer --help The rest you can read from the manpages: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1.html
