Why all the media player error messages?

[joe at actionline.com]

Upon trying several different media players from the command line,
--- smplayer,  vlc,  kaffeine,  dragon,  and  mplayer ---
to run the same test video file (myking.m4v), all of them generate
various error messages, including "No such file or directory."

This is odd because they all find the target file and play it fine.

So why do all these error messages appear and/or how can I stop them?
