No worky for me on 2008HE. I can run the program but get a white screen as others have mentioned.

can you start it from xterm and check for "error messages"?

I'll try it later today and post back. Could installing the n800 version of mplayer be the culprit?

Yes, the N800 version of mplayer is optimized for the N800's CPU. It doesn't work on the 770. You need the 770 version on the 770.

Okay, so I installed the n770 version of mplayer and is still getting the same problem. Running in Xterm gives the following error:

File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gdata/tlslite/utils/xmltools.py", line 10, in <module>
from xml.dom import minidom
ImportError: No module named dom

try to reinstall python-gdata and/or search which packages are available to fix the xml dependency:
apt-cache search python | grep xml

Thanks. apt-get install python-gdata fixed it.

Just asking would something like this be able to be made for hulu.com so we can watch tv shows on tablet?

I just wanted to throw my 2 cents in with the hulu idea. I too think it would be an awesome idea to have a client on the n8x0 for hulu. Unfortunately, hulu's lowest stream has a resolution of 512x288, which is still way too large for mplayer to process smoothly. (unless there's a way of quantizing the frame down on the fly). It would be awesome for hulu to support lower quality (and lower res) streams, which could actually work with the tablet. I recently stumbled over the *nix project rtmpdump, which could be used to capture the hulu stream, if it was compiled onto the n8x0. I believe that the rtmpdump code is used on projects like XBMC and Boxee, iirc.
