Mplayer AF_INET6


I have breezy installed on two machines. One, is older (1.2 pent) and the other is my laptop, (2.8 pent) My older machine is a standard desktop. I have Mplayer installed on both machines. Each machine has MediaPlayerConnectivity installed so when I click on a move in Firefox, it opens up Mplayer. Each machine is fully up to date and the same in almost every way. The problem is that when I open a movie on my laptop, I always get this error (Couldn't resolve name for AF_INET6 Blah blah.com) The video is also choppy on my laptop "but it always works". My older machine works great, no errors and video is smooth. I have super fast internet on both. How can I get rid of the Error message on my laptop?

Hello,

afaik this message means, that mplayer is not able to resolve the IPV6 address. I believe you can this feature turn off in a config-file.

Thanks for that. I will try when I get home. I was able to change my setup so that firefox opens up mplayer instead of gui mplayer. That also worked for me.
