[SOLVED] mplayer2 and xv video output

Hi,
I've just installed mplayer2 from the community repository. But it doesn't seem to be working with xv video output, because when I try to play a movie, the video doesn't work.
I get this output:

[vaclav@arch Movies]$ mplayer movie.mkv 
MPlayer2 UNKNOWN (C) 2000-2012 MPlayer Team
162 audio & 361 video codecs

Playing Movie.

When I play it with gl video output, it works fine.

Any ideas how to solve this?

Yeah, happens to me too. Seems like mplayer2 was built without support for xv! Should I file a bug?
