Mplayer framebuffer /dev/fb0 permission over SSH
I have a machine connected to a monitor. I have mplayer installed on this machine. On this machine I can run this to play a video in the frame buffer.
mplayer -vo fbdev2 file.mp4Now I want to initiate exact behaviour this over SSH. I want to log into this machine via SSH and run mplayer such that it plays the same video on the same monitor attached to the machine running mplayer using its own framebuffer. I'm not looking to forward the video over SSH. I simply want to initiate the playback over SSH.
However, when I run the same command above in an SSH session, the video does not work:
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.Running it with as super user does let me use the command successfully over SSH, but I would prefer not to need super user permissions to do this.
Thank you for any help!
