Hi

Can Mplayer be configured to run in KDE?

Synaptic installed Mplayer but unable have it run in Simple Mepis 8

Install kmplayer.

If you run mplayer in a terminal, does it work? What if you run gmplayer?

Hi {BBI}Nexus{BBI}

Kmplay is installed and working but not in all video files

Player Mplayer not running

XavierP · 10-24-2009, 05:21 PM

If you run

Code:

mplayer dvd://

or

Code:

mplayer /path/to/video/file

in a terminal, does it work?

Do you have libdvdcss3 installed (or libdvdcss2)? and have you run the install script in the directory?

Maurice Arthur · 10-25-2009, 03:56 PM

Hi XavierP

In terminal NO it does not work

Libdvdcss2 libdvdcss2-dev installed

Need help regarding How to install script in the directory

In a terminal (as root) do this:

Code:

sh /usr/share/doc/libdvdread[1-4]/install-css.sh

Use tab completion to add the version number to libdvdread (I have version 4, you may have version 3). This will configure and download some files to enable libdvdcss.

Where I wrote [1-4], you will need to change that to the actual number. Type in "sh /usr/share/doc/libdvdread" and then hit the tab key and it will autocomplete with the correct number.

Cool, the whole command should be

Code:

sh /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh

. This will download some files and do some configuring. Then try to run a DVD - if it won't start, open the program's browser and open the video file (should end in .TS, IIRC) from there.
