No audio with MPlayer
Hey. I downloaded & installed earlier .90 of Mplayer. I can get audio for .mp3 files and some streaming video but I can't seem to get audio to play for .mov (lord of the rings trailer).
Can someone give me a suggestion of what to setup? It says 'Cannot find codec for audio format ()x324D4451.' Any ideas? Thanks a bunch. |
Did you try going to the mplayer web page and download all of the codecs?

upgrade to 0.92 and configure it to use quicktime codecs
|
the best way is to download mplayer 1.0pre1, it has built-in quicktime codecs.

Hey, thanks for the tip. I got the latest version which seems to work fine.
My question at this point is this: If I use mplayer -file it works great. Audio, video.. everything is fine. If I use gmplayer -file I don't get any sound. Can someone tell me why this is? gmplayer is just a gui version of mplayer, am I right? |
Well this format called 'QDesign Audio v2' is a proprietary format. However if you install quick time 4 codecs, then it should work.
Will install and try this and let you know about the results |
I tried installing codecs but it tells me I am lacking permissions to put them in the appropriate folder. I guess this is something that has to be done as root?
Also, I forget where I read it, but does someone know the codec folder & can remind me? |
