need a simple way to play WMA files...

Riddick · 12-15-2004, 10:49 AM

wma files only seem to work in MPlayer (SuSE 9.2),
and not in amaroK and JuK. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Thanks,
Riddick

hi there

if u use xine engine in amarok then i think u can run wmv files
that too if u have the required libraries

ok I have xine installed and playing WMAs...
how do I tell amaroK to play through it?

hi there

go to "configure amarok"
then select the engine as xine engine

I want to play wma files with the amarok player
I use xine engine in amarok but still doesn't play wma files.
Can you specify please which are the required libraries?

try from a console to open your file with xine:

xine "my_file.wma" and see what it says!
