Weird, it's working fine for me here with the same setup.  Looks like an article
about the XO machine.

Make sure you're entering it all on one line, leave out the -playlist option and
any line wrapping symbols your mail client may be inserting.

Easiest way to do it I find it to enter the:

  mplayer ' 

then copy/paste the URL and enter the final:

  '

If it's not that, I'm not sure what's up with it.
