how do you play mpeg files on redhat 9?? pelase explain it simple because i am a noob.:newbie:

one option is installing mplayerhq from mplayerhq.hu but I haven't succeeded in installing it due to a few dependencies failing to compile.
|
theres two options, mplayer or xine... i prefer mplayer.. go to http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design6/dload.html and download one of the source files... To install:
1)go to your CLI (Command Line Interface) which should be konsole, xterm or something like that 2)go to the directory using this syntax | cd <dir> | cd .. (goto previous directory) and use the command ls to view whats in your current directory 3)type tar -zxvf "filename" 4)it will create a folder, cd into that folder 5)type ./configure 6)type make 7)type su and enter password for r00t 8)type make install now in the command line, there should be a command mplayer, have fun! |
i did that here is what it says

You can add a rpm for XMMS so that it will play mp3's. This is available at http://www.icewalkers.com/download/L...ayer/1976/dls/
Note: i had to install by rpm -i --force xmms-1.2.7-21.i386.rpm Hope this is helpful Jeff Smith ps: when you start XMMS again you have to clear your playlist and readd all your songs to it |
do you have any ideas how to install the addons for mplayer, for example the gui and some more codecs??
|
I have noida but XMMS comes with Red Hat Gnome if you chose to install it. I would update that and use that. I'm not familiar with mplayer but I did use mp3blaster until I ffound this patch. mp3blaster is a weak commandline mp3player and didn't even have a gui addon. It might be the same with mplayer. The easiest solution, I believe, would just be to update X Media Player as described before.

I don't know if you want to compile them, but I downloaded the rpms which made life easy.
I am running version 0.90, so I downloaded the following packages. mplayer-0.90-1.i386.rpm mplayer-0.90-1.i386.rpm mplayer-0.90-1.i386.rpm mplayer-0.90-1.i386.rpm The packages have circular dependecies (except the skins I think) so you need to install them all simultaneously with the following command (logged in as root) rpm -Uvh mplayer-0.90-1.i386.rpm mplayer-0.90-1.i386.rpm mplayer-0.90-1.i386.rpm mplayer-0.90-1.i386.rpm After that you should have a helpful mplayer icon somewhere in your panel. If not, run the gui with the command gmplayer from a console |
thanks it worked
