thanks aerogate.
what package should i be looking for Code:
urpmi win32-codecs |
Quote:
This package contains Win32 codec binaries, required for the decompression of video formats that have no open source alternative. This is in PLF for it's non-free license. -Try a new plf nonfree source. |
Hmm, package above was from plf sources I used four days ago when I installed. Went to use them today and they were down. Tried four other sources for plf and all down at this moment, not too impressive.
|
well i am having trouble with the plf nonfree source too
Code:
retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "plf-nonfree"... but the repositories listed there were giving the above mentioned problem :(. well i searched google for the package u named and as of now am downloading it from ftp://mandrake.contactel.cz/plf/mand...007.0.i586.rpm |
downloaded and installed package to no avail :(. KMPlayer still doesnt play wmv files.
|
You could save it to desktop and install it from there until the plf mirrors are working again. http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i586.rpm.html
Ah, tried that too eh. Could always use windows to view windowsmedia. |
lol while Lakota ur right but the thing is that MPlayer plays windows media fine whereas KMPlayer is never in the mood :P

lol yeah thats what i was planning to do atlast. Thanks for the help Lakota

I had a similar issue in SuSE 10.1 untill I tried installing the w32codecs and THEN installing kmplayer. When I installed the player afterword it worked out. Try that.
|
i tried uninstalling and then installing KMPlayer again as u suggested but did not work:(
|
Did you try uninstalling kmplayer then installing w32codecs. Then install kmplayer?
|
no i simply uninstalled KMPlayer and then installed it again. How do i uninstall w32 codecs i just downloaded them and then unzipped them in the appropriate folder.
|
What I did was uninstalled kmplayer installed w32codecs, the RPM with a package manager, then installed Kmplayer. You're problem could be simply that Kmplayer isn't linking correctly. I don't know... I'm kinda of a newbie but that's what worked for me.
|
yeah well made i work by changing the Movie player of KMPlayer from Xine to MPlayer :). i dont know why but Geminiviper your method was not working in my case but thanks to you i happened to recheck this problem i had abandoned
|
Sorry I couldn't help you more. I'm just a noobie.. Hope you figure something out.
