[compiz] Video plugin and patched MPlayer

[jayan cabatuan]

Hey guys,
I managed to patch mplayer and Xgl to use the video plugin. The video
plays but the window is just white. I can see the silhouette of the
people in the video when I make it transparent.
Do you guys have any idea? Am I missing a step? Can anyone shed any
light on my situation? Thanks.
Here is the output:

[bijoux at angelface ~]$ /opt/bin/mplayer -v
