Some people, including me, can run without errors. But others cannot...
At least, I tested on MacOS 10.13 and ubuntu 16.04.
Are you using Windows?

@hanyazou first of all, I am sorry for the late response. Yes, I actually run on Windows 7 and when I try the other sample script such as "python -m tellopy.examples.joystick_and_video". I ended up getting the error

Tello: 01:01:41.501: Error: video recv: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

And then I try to find the issue on github, I find out that you have already solved the issue in this thread: #33. Actually, I try to follow your instruction (install the latest mplayer from pypi). However, I still get the same issue. In my opinion, there could be something wrong with the mplayer library, so that the window is unable to show up properly
(I am thinking of getting a brand new laptop to give it another try now lol)

[hanyazou]

I am not familiar with Windows. Did you check where mplayer executable file and dynamic link libraries are? Did you try to add those path to your environment variables?

[trooperisme]

hi @hanyazou , could you review #78 (its very easy, im just not familiar with '%s')

[ricafort]

@hanyazou . I am having same issue too

@hanyazou what did you do that the PyGame screen shows correct images on Ubuntu ?
