MPG playing
Whats a good movie player for linux, It would be good if it was something that was in a package for redhat cause I just started and am having trouble learning linux.

Xine is pretty good but the best one IMHO is Mplayer. There are rpm packages for it but I recommend you compile it from source. You'll know more about what media types you can play and you'll learn a lot about your hardware.
Good Luck Go here: http://www.mplayerhq.hu |
be sure to ask a bunch of simple questions on their
developer's forum too. like, ask which file to download for your version of linux. say it's version 8. then ask how to run it. be sure to be wearing a fireman's protective suit when you do that. |
prob
It says that I can't install till mplayer 0.90 is installed too. I don't know what that is.
|
what mplayer 0.90 is? it's the current release of mplayer.... :confused:
if you're installing from RPM files then there a couple you'll need mplayer mplayer-common mplayer-skins etc... maybe that's what you mean |
and what does contitually mean?
|
Thats a typo, Thanks for bringing it to my attention
|
Any other programs I can Use? I can't get Mplayer to install.

redhat 9 has to come with an mplayer rpm, doesn't it?
how could they have a distro without that? there's about 10 packages you need installed though for it to work with everything. that's tough for a newbie. here's all the stuff my mplayer is linked against. /usr/bin# ldd mplayer libvorbis.so.0 => /usr/lib/libvorbis.so.0 (0x40015000) libogg.so.0 => /usr/lib/libogg.so.0 (0x40037000) libdivxdecore.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libdivxdecore.so.0 (0x40045000) libpng.so.2 => /usr/lib/libpng.so.2 (0x40091000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x400bc000) libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x400cb000) libasound.so.2 => /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 (0x400ea000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40172000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x40176000) libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x40189000) libungif.so.4 => /usr/lib/libungif.so.4 (0x401a0000) libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 (0x401a8000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x40400000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x4040c000) libSDL-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 (0x404b0000) libesd.so.0 => /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 (0x40522000) libaudiofile.so.0 => /usr/lib/libaudiofile.so.0 (0x4052a000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4053c000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40559000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x4064e000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) libglide3.so.3 => /usr/lib/libglide3.so.3 (0x40657000) libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x40756000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x40761000) libXmu.so.6 => /usr/X11/lib/libXmu.so.6 (0x40778000) libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x4078b000) libXi.so.6 => /usr/X11/lib/libXi.so.6 (0x407d5000) libasound.so.1 => /usr/lib/libasound.so.1 (0x407dd000) |

down the skin, the source file, and the gui. and then install them and when you try to run it, remember to use option -vo x11, if not your player won't properly i tried it myself, it works fine till now |
Try to do a serach on google
rpm + Mplayer you will find those 3 rpm files you need |
you can command line it
rpm -Uvh package.rpm --nodeps |
Whenever I try to make install I get about 16 Error messages
|
i thought you had rpm's. did you give up on those?
http://www.piorunek.pl/~dominik/linu...ayer/i686.rh8/ these are for redhat 8. they'll probably work on your 9. rpm -Uvh package --nodeps then if it doesn't work rpm -e package --nodeps you can add --force onto the end of that if necessary. |
