How will I play video file formats in RedHat 9 . I tryied to put .dat file and try it in Kaboodle and Noatun . It is not working. Even in Noatun and kaboodle is not playing mp3 formats. I have to see movies in linux machine.
Can anybody help me to solve this problem. TV tuner card is also not working. wait
Before in my system RedHat8.0 that one also had the same problem. How will i solve this?
You need to get a patch from the XMMS site to play MP3 files.
How are you trying to view the output from your TV tuner card? I use xawtv, and it works pretty well. You should be able to just type it from a command prompt. There's a slightly nicer gui version you can get as well.
I have both xine and MPlayer. For what it's worth, I have a slight preference for xine - it seems less resource intensive. Both are rather rough, though.

It seems like you're trying to play a VCD, just insert your CD and mount it (of course you have to previously have mplayer installed) and type at shell
I am very much impressed by the replies I got. I never get an immediate reply from any community. Thank you for eveybody for an immediate reply. I start doing down load. I down loaded the MPlayer. It shows me a dependency peoblem. How will I install Mplayer in linux RH9?
I tried to install this rpm mplayer-0.90-fr0.7rc5.i386.rpm for mplayer and xine-0.9.20-fr1.i386.rpm for xine and both shows me the dependancy problem. Which one I have to down load for smooth installation.

if you want mplayer on redhat do it the easiest way. download apt from here and install it.
from the command line as root do this:
apt-get update
apt-get install mplayer
this should solve dependencies and it worked flawlessy on redhat 8.
you also dont have to worry about getting the skins, fonts, etc because it does it all unlike urpmi for drake.
Well, the following messages keep coming... what does no route found mean??? I use proxy to connect to the net... so is that causing some problem???
