Ok...this thread was asked before by several people for several times.(I am really sorry and ashamed about asking it one more time )I have read all of them.I read refence pages on that pages.I don't know if I am missing something but I downloaded "MPlayer-1.Opre5.tar-bz2" when I say

tar -xjvk MPlayer-1.Opre5.tar-bz2

it returns me an error such =

"tar:MPlayer-1.Opre5.tar-bz2 Cannot Open :No such file or directory"
"tar:Error is not recovarable:existing now"
"tar:Child return status 2"
"tar:Errors exit delay from previous erros "(or somehthing like that)



then I downloaded
"MPlayer-1.Opre5-pm.1.i586.rpm"
and tried

rpm -ivh MPlayer-1.Opre5-pm.1.i586.rpm

but I got nearly same thing
could not open the file :MPlayer-1.Opre5-pm.1.i586.rpm

Did I do something wrong?

(Ps:These files in /home/MPlayer/.....)

I don't know whats up with your source-code, probably it is not called mplayer...tar-bz2 but mplayer...tar.bz2, also I dont need the "-" before tar options, it gets me an error-message. Just try without the "-" and a correct path your mplayer source. If this does't work, you still can download the package from http://packman.links2linux.de/ They build all the packages for Suse because the "normal" rpm's wont work on suse (I dont know why , had myself troubles installing multimedia-software on suse.)

Try installing it with YaST and report any errors back here

OK first I apologize to everyone who reads this article because
I made a huge mistake by seeing "0" like"O" in

tar -xjvk MPlayer-1.-----O---pre5.tar-bz2 see.....

But when i solve this and want to

./configure --enable-gui

I got message

The GUI requires GTK devel packages (which were not found)...
and tells me to look at the configure.log file to see the error more detailed.I've looked at that file but there is nothing.
I installed every gtk packages -- I know ---but what am i doing wrong...
I found some forum thread about this error but three is no exact solution on them....

I think MPlayer GUI requires GTK 1.2. Default installation in SuSE 9.1 is
GTK 2.something. I'm not sure if GTK 1.2 still comes with 9.1, and even
if it does, if it's going to cooperate with MPlayer. I myself could compile
MPlayer with GUI easily on SuSE 8.1, but never accomplished this with
9.0 (still not using 9.1).
Compile it without the GUI and see if you really need a graphical inter-
face; it's fairly easy to use from the shell.

Hi Marius2,

I 'ne tried it . with just

./configure it is ok.No compiling erros ;no error on "make install"

but when want to try mplayer it didnt work.
For example when I say

mplayer 18.avi(or mpg or mpeg) from console

a window opened but shows nothing but pinky sligtss.

Do have any idea...??

You need to install the appropriate codecs to play avi. Download them
from mplayer homepage and read the installation instruction which comes
with them.

HTH

Hi all,

I downloaded the all codecs but it didnt worked either.Mplayer windows opens but no display.As I said before just pinky slights.Do i have uninstall and install Mplayer again?
Thanks

Yup, you've to compile mplayer again in order to mplayer to recognize the codecs:

The full documentation and installation instructions is found here:

http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/index.html

and I highly recommend you to read it . You may want to install mplayer from SuSE's Yast if you think it's getting too tough:

Good luck!

Thanks MegamanX,

I have already did what you said.It dind't changed my display.But at least I figure out what is the problem.The problem is not the codec ; the problem is the output device that I selected.
Ok ...When I said:

mplayer -vo X11 filename.mpg

it worked.But i could't figure out how can I make this change permanent.Do you know anything about that.Thanks

Hi guys;

I found that i have to write something into a config file of mplayer in order to make permanent of x11...

~/.mplayer/config:

vo=x11
