mplayer owns all others ;)

A vast selection of playable formats.

mplayer, installed from source, "owns all others" including anything on Win or Mac

well I'm having problems installing it. I keep getting gcc error I need to update it so how do I update the gcc?
Actually I got the latest GCC 3.3.2. Now I'm having a problem installing GCC into the comp.

Does one of these media players support itunes style radio?

I tried using xine to play video formats but there is only video no sound.
Why is that?

czarherr 02-09-2004 06:12 PM

something is wrong with your codecs (not installed, etc). make sure you install the w32codec rpm. otherwise, make sure your vid card is also installed correctly

beejayzed 02-09-2004 06:21 PM

The win32 codecs are installed, what else could it be?

czarherr 02-09-2004 06:27 PM

What distro and vid card do you have? i had a problem similar to that with xine using red hat on my radeon 9700pro for awhile till i switched to slack and it worked perfectly.

beejayzed 02-09-2004 06:34 PM

I am using Mandrake 9.1 and my video card is a sis630. My sound card is cmedia8738.

czarherr 02-09-2004 06:49 PM

cant say i know a lot about mandrake, just that its similar to red hat as far as being system V. No advice there, just usually when you get only sound out of a video, its a codec issue. Have you done searches on this elsewhere?

Kujila 02-09-2004 06:52 PM

beejay - Mandrake can use terminal URPMI commands to snatch updates, codecs, etcetera for programs and applications. I snagged my copy of mplayer with skins and codecs just by punching in various URPMI commands. Perhaps you could give that a shot and see if you can get some codexs for your player.
