playing .wmv files in linux
How do you do it...
Mat |
Doesn't Mplayer supports them, it's just a guess cause I'm (also) a newbie
|
try mplayer, i read that it supports wmv files, can't say for sure as i dont use them myself
|
I can't seem to get Mplayer working all I ever seem to get is the following error message - Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) decive
What's going on... Mat |
well...xine can play that too.
and i've seen your error before, but i don't remember what i did to solve it ??? egag |
Great help egag ;o)
Is it an easy one to solve? Mat |
hi,
to play .wmv files, as well as other Windows media files and Apple Quicktime, you need the win32 codec pack available for MPlayer / Xine. It's available for download - do a Google and you should find it easily. |
Do I unzip itand compile from source in the standard way?

Great help egag ;o) Is it an easy one to solve? Mat -------- well.. if i solved it ....that can't be hard :) i think i started " gmplayer " ( that's the gui ) and clicked the configuration menu. in the videotab you can set the video-out driver. hope this is more help. egag |
What distro are you using? If it supports rpm then get everything here:
http://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/pub/linux/greysector/mplayer/ Maybe you're interested in this thread: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=257991 as it also related to -vo problem. |
Where do I unzip and store the relevant files once I have downloaded the directory?
