works here, though i'm using [device file:///tmp/homer.avi(
are you sure, that the file exists and that vlc can play it?

the only things i noticed:
- in your patch ou don't turn rendering on, (there's only a [create( but 
not a [create, 1( or simile)
- in your patch you have no order of the messages [driver( and [device( 
defined. **always use trigger when you want to connect one outlet to 
multiple inlets**.
- in your patch you are tring to open an mp3 file. i don't know what you 
expect to be displayed?
