mplayer timestamp not disappearing

Question

I'm using Linux Mint 8 64bit with Google Chrome Unstable (same problem with beta).

When a video is playing, the time elapsed and total time stay on the screen:

Is there a way to make this disappear? I've tried all kinds of preferences, but to no avail.

Press o to cycle through the timestamp display modes. From the manpage:

o
  Toggle OSD states: none / seek / seek + timer / seek + timer + total time.

what character is that? It's not reacting to either o (as in omg) or 0 (as in 1-1)

That's a lowercase 'o' as in zomg. Not sure what chrome does to mplayer, but I guess you should probably have the mouse over the movie "box".
