Mplayer

shassouneh · 02-21-2003, 07:22 PM

When i try to launch a vidx file in Mplayer, I get a whole bunch of errors that I canno understand. I cannot make snapshots of them to show you.
So what i did is i ran gmplayer form console and copied/pasted the ouput here. What Am I doping wrong?
NOTE: i downloaded the latest divx codec for linuc form www.divx.com and I even tried a divx4linux RPM file, and it didn't help. Also Note that this is the DEFAULT SETUP that came as-is with SuSE 8.1
Can anyone kindly offer some insight.

one last note, after doing this mplayer freezes, and I would have to kill it using ps -A | grep mplayer"

Kindly help if you can

Did you install the Win32 codec pack from the MPlayer site?

franki_boy please do not hijack threads, you've already asked this elsewhere.

sahsahsaohsansash that's what you get for installing from precomipled packages really.... is that an official mplayer binary? if not you shouldn't use them. if you install mplayer from source then it should play no problem at all. and won't even try to use the win32 dll's as it'll use the ffmpeg package that comes with it.

shassouneh · 02-22-2003, 04:34 AM

Thanx for the reply acid. I have taken the time to look around on the forum before actually posting this thread, and there seems to be great encouragement form installing by compile.
My question is, if I download the sources and install by compilation, will it over-ride the older version of Mlpayer or will it quote unquote "result in an inconsistent system"?
A few tips/pointers/hints would be gladly and greatly appreciated here.
Thanx for the replies everyone

shassouneh · 02-22-2003, 05:42 AM

I dunno what exactly I did, but I think I installed the Win32 codecs and with a slight bit of tweaking of prefferences and a reboot I can play DivX movies (both audio and video now).
I have yet to try VidX. wish me luck.

shassouneh · 02-22-2003, 05:46 AM

Nope. No dice with XVid. I just wish i can find an RPM file to install it somewhere

acid_kewpie · 02-22-2003, 05:48 AM

just compile from source....

shassouneh · 02-22-2003, 05:17 PM

I looked into compiling from source and it seems a reeeeal pain in the behind. Since I got DivX to work nicely there surely must be a way to get XVid to to do so to without the ugliness of recompiling from source. Also If i recompile from source I would have two different versions of mplayer on my system resultiung in an "inconsistent" system. I tried removing mplayer altogether, but it is waaay tied into other things that the setup would not let me do so.

Any ideas?

MasterC · 02-22-2003, 05:27 PM

Compiling mplayer from source isn't rough. It's the same as compiling anything else, and assuming you've already got gcc installed and working, it's as easy as:
./configure make make install

And you gain alot more functionality out of doing that, so why not?

It's a much better option.

Cool

MasterC · 02-22-2003, 05:29 PM

Oh, and as for 2 versions...

Mplayer will overwrite the old files with the new ones. You won't have 2 versions unless you install to a different path. Assuming you want to install to the same path, during ./configure include the --prefix /path to the configure script. Find where mplayer is located first:
whereis mplayer
Then:
./configure --prefix /usr/local/bin

Assuming mplayer returns in /usr/local/bin

Cool

shassouneh · 02-23-2003, 05:52 AM

I tried to compile form source. As root i tried ./configure, which spitted out a whole bunch of stuff. The I did make, which spitted out butloads of stuff, and then exited with two errors like "error 2". I will try it again and paste the results in here for you all to see
