help!! ....mplayer
I installed and compiled mplayer but I cannot play anything in it.
If I want make something play (video/audio), mplayer isn't shown under the application-list. And if I (for ex.) choose Totem, he asks me to download something. I agree and try it once again and it starts me asking again to download a codec or whatever. I am realy confused and I would be very happy for some help. |
open up a terminal and type in
mplayer /path/to/the/file/you/want/play.mpg |

Your command was:
mplayer /home/usr/Documents/redirect.lsc are you sure that this is a file you can play - that this is a media-file? - MPlayer plays almost anything right out of the box. I've never seen a media file with the ending .lsc |
never that format either...
but like it says, mplayer was compiled wrongly, it cant open the rtc timer, and it cant open a socket .... (bad kernel?) i dono what the problem is.... but you should think of recompiling mplayer like it says to get more optimal performance |
I suppose (in fact - I know!) these errors are not fatal and are not causing mplayer to fail playing that file.
The socket it complains about is related to LIRC - which is not neccesary to have - and the error about RTC-init is definitivly not fatal - I had this all the time until I did what the message suggests: "Try adding "echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq" to your system startup scripts." I did and it is using RTC now - but it works just fine without this - using usleep() timing Fot the RTC timing method to work it is also necessary to have kernel-level support for it - not sure if that is even the case here. Anyway - mplayer always works best, if you compiled it yourself on - and for - your machine. It is just not a media-file - or at least not one, that mplayer knows about. MPlayer does not care about the files ending - it determines the file-type by content - but this could fail and then it goes by what the filenames ending suggests. |
