Try putting the file name in quotes. "robie williams-feel.mp3".
You can also put a \ before any space. robie\ williams-feel.mp3

Nis, is there a GUI of mplayer??
And can i play mp'3 from my mounted windows partition from a gui of mplayer..

because when i browse to my windows partition, i have no access
because i'm not root

how can i change it in the gui of mandrake and not only in the console (su)

Check out gmplayer (try to run it)
You will need to add the 'umask=0' option to your /etc/fstab to let regular users access. Search here.

How did you get mplayer? I downloaded and compiled it, and it had an option for creating gmplayer. Not sure how you would get it if you got mplayer precompiled though.
You should be able to use the mp3's on the Windows drive if the regular users can access it.

Hi I get Mplayer from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design6/dload.html
their I downloaded the MPlayer V1.0.Opre3try2 source.

It was a packge so i extracted it and do with the console:

./config
make
make install (evrything works fine)

Maybe it cauld come because I have no skin , no?? Or what shoud I do?
thx "aaa" :-

you need to recompile with the gui enabled:

./configure --enable-gui
make
make install

make sure to get a skin from the site too.

read the read me with the source

./configure --use-gui
make
make install

i could be wrong
just read the read me

then after you compiled it again
gmplayer

Recompile with './configure --enable-gui' (i think) instead of './configure'. Use './configure --help' to see the options. You will need to get a skin too, but if that were just the problem, then gmplayer would run but complain about the lack of skins.

Error: PNG support required for GUI compilation, please install libpng and libpng-dev packages.

error..

Pg packaghes are the skins I think How must I add them?

Download and install libpng from their homepage. Just search for libpng on google.

Killah · 04-01-2004, 01:25 PM

Hi, I installed libpng but i can't find a good installation for libpng-dev...

So i get the same fault with ./configure
