mplayer on AMD 64 Athlon FC4
I'm ruinning Fedora Core 4 on an AMD Athlon 64.
I've installed mplayer using yum and it seems to work ok but with some problems. 1. Quicktime *.mov files will play but with no sound 2. some *.wmv files will play sound but no video Output for Quicktime problem: ----------------------------------------- Using GNU internationalization Original domain: messages Original dirname: /usr/share/locale Current domain: mplayer Current dirname: /usr/share/locale MPlayer 1.0pre7-4.0.0 (C) 2000-2005 MPlayer Team CPU: Advanced Micro Devices (Family: 8, Stepping: 0) Detected cache-line size is 64 bytes CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 3DNow 3DNowEx SSE SSE2 Linux RTC init error in ioctl (rtc_irqp_set 1024): Permission denied Try adding "echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq" to your system startup scripts.

I've also soft linked /usr/lib/win32 to both of these but niether way worked. Anyone have any luck dealing with this? you can email me directly if you wish steve_a_hart@yahoo.com Thanks!!! |

If Mplayer is compiled for AMD 64 it won't work 64 bit Mplayer can't use WIN32 codecs, notice "32", and there are no 64 bit codecs yet Perhaps there's a way of installing 32 bit Mplayer, not sure about Fedora but this option exists in Gentoo Pete |
Thanks Pete,
The funny thing is that I'm actually able to play some wmv files just fine. Quicktime is the real problem. The more I read about it, I think the 64-bit FC4 is just too unstable and unsupported. I'm thinking that I might just say screw it and load FC4 i386 and be done with it. I know mplayer and all the firefox plugins work great with that version of the OS. Still undecided......... |
I have this problem too.
I have found out a few things, though it still doesn't work for me... I first installed mplayer with yum too, but I've had the same problems. Then I tried compiling it from source http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mplayer-fedora.html which results in the message that I won't be able to play some files cause I use 64bit architecture after the command ./configure. Make and make install don't work. I found out how to to use 32bit emulation to install mplayer on 64bit architecture so you are supposed to be able to view those files: Q:How can I build a 32 bit MPlayer on a 64 bit Athlon? A:Try the following configure options: ./configure --target=athlon_xp --cc="gcc -m32" --as="as --32" --with-extralibdir=/usr/lib Then the message that i won't be able to play those files cause of my architecture doesn't appear anymore after the command ./config, but the make and make install commands still won't work... :( I'm getting closer :D I'll keep you informed :) |
hello
I have FC4 x86_64. I have the 32 bit versions of gxine and mplayer installed. I Installed most of the files for mplayer from http://freshrpms.net/packages/ I also found this (below) but have not tried it. http://www.fedoranews.org/tchung/mplayer/ The gxine stuff I got from http://xinehq.de/index.php/releases I installed the rpm files, which saved me the trouble of having to compile. The only file which I had to compile was gxine. You will need some i386-devel libraries compile 32 bit programs in x86_64 platform. Just follow the errors given by the compiler and correct them as they come up. Assuming you have all the necessary libraries installed. export CC="gcc -m32" export LDFLAGS='-L/usr/X11R6/lib' ./configure make make install Forgot to mention that for embedding mplayer you need a 32 bit browser (mozilla/firedox). There is no advantage of using the 64 bit browser at this point since there is no flash or jre support for it. |
Thanks all....I had some motherboard problems so after resolving those I ened up installing the 32bit version of FC4. The 64bit version just doesn't have the software support I need yet. Thanks for all the great advice!

Thanks jlo_sandog. I'm running FC4 64 too. It is so fast and is more stable that Windows XP 32 or 64 bit was on the AMD 64. I am do have several other computers to handle the things 64 bit can not do yet. At least Fedora is ahead of Windows in 64 bit. I had a much worse time with Windows 64 bit.
