From when is your mplayer CVS version? Is it somewhere after the -rc1
release? If not, please update.

I tried mplayer via a ssh connection. If I run
  mplayer /some/video
I get a X11 window - so far, so good.

If I run
  mplayer -identify /some/video
I just get some text output on the console, no X11 windows. That's how
it should be.

If I run mplayer with a nonexistant option (-identify != --identify)
  mplayer --identify /some/video
I get a X11 window where the video is played.

My conclusion:
Either your mplayer version doesn't know the option '-identify' or it
isn't correctly implemented yet (CVS version).

I'd suggest that you update your mplayer to a current one.

Cheers,
Juri
