Problems with media players
 

I have a problem with media players. I have installed MPlayer, Canola2 and Kagu. Whenever I launch any of them I get the "Kagu - Loading" or whatever the app name is, then nothing. I have the Python 2.5 library installed and have other Python based apps working. I have some media files that the basic video player that comes with the 770 can view. Any ideas why these other applications don't work?

try starting them from the xterm terminal window (by typing "mplayer" or "canola" or "kagu" at the $ prompt)... you may see some messages there that indicate what the problem may be...

MPlayer has started working. How odd is that? Here are the results of running the other two in XTerm:
~ $ kagu
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./kagu.py", line 25, in ?
if remote.remote(sys.argv): sys.exit(0)
File "/usr/lib/kagu/remote.py", line 15, in remote
os.mkfifo(FIFO) #create fifo
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

~ $ canola
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/canola", line 18, in ?
