sorry,but you have to explain for me how to recompile since i never did this before, and what do you mean by reconfigure?? i tried to modify the config file of mplayer , but since it's empty i did'nt know how to ( what exactly to write ) reconfigure it

Reconfigure it is referring to the initial configuration when compiling from the source. The full process is:

Code:

#./configure --with-win32libdir=/usr/lib/codecs --enable-gui
#make && make install

This requires the development packages from your distro such as gcc. When you are done doing the ./configure, scroll up with <shift>+<PgUp> and check out everything it autodetected. If you see a "No" next to anything you have, you will need to reissue the ./configure command with the appropriate option. See './configure --help' for a full list of options. ALso, the '--enable-gui' option requires the correct skins and fonts be installed. See http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html for more info.

note: you might want to uninstall any previous MPlayer packages before installing form the source.

**edit**
I don't know if I need to mention this or not, but you need to download the MPlayer source from their website and issue the above commands in the parant directory of that source.

Quote:

Cannot find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x30345652

cd to /usr and do

Code:

whereis mplayer

Make sure you do not have it installed in two diffrent places. Then

Code:

ls -l /usr/local/bin/ | grep mplayer

to make sure the mplayer binary is the more recent one you just installed from the source (might need to change to /usr/bin/ depending on results of first command). You really should uninstall the original package and then redo the make install, but we might be able to work around it if you feel the need to have 2 diffrent versions of MPlayer on your system. It's better to eliminate all posible sources of problems though when trying to debug a problem.

After you are sure you are calling the correct version of mplayer, from a terminal window do a

Code:

mplayer /<location to video>/myvideo.<rm/avi>

for both video types and then copy and paste the full results. This will show exactly what the problem is and why it's happening. I will be able to assist you further with this information.

I have not yet found a video type that is not supported by mplayer. The errors you are getting are a result of something not being installed correctly, or you installed the "windows-all-codec" package instead of the "all-codec" one

I just looked all over their site to install mplayer. Installed all of the codecs and it says the default is now /usr/local/lib/codecs for... the codecs. The codecs have to be installed 1st so mplayer will find them during compile.

My dilemna is... I can't get past my config script because I have gcc-4 on my system. According to the configure script, this is not the one that they use to compile mplayer with.

for gcc-3.2 and below, they suggest using gcc-core version 3.2 or above.

I would think this version would be less of a problem not more of one. Unless, gcc-4 is more unstable than 3, but I find that hard to believe.

mohama · 05-02-2006, 11:33 AM

well , i uninstalled the mplayer package ..
installed it again from source ( i needed to downgrad to gcc.3.* ) and i could get it play .rm files too( in addition to wmv3 ) but it treet one .avi file that i have as an audio file although it's not , so i tried to run another movie .avi file and it played it successfully ...!!!

there is still one problem .. how to create the mplayer icon back under the kde menu/multimedia/video ???

i added some of it's output here :

so everything is working now? that's good. FYI, if you installed your codecs in /usr/local/lib/codecs then you might want to create a link to it in /usr so other programs con fined them (just in case)

Code:

#ln -sf /usr/local/lib/codecs /usr/lib/codecs

Right click on the K start bar and hit menu editor. Add a new item in the category you want. Under command type 'gmplayer' for gui MPlayer (requires skins). Then select the correct icon. The icons will be with the skin in their own sub-directory.

mohama · 05-02-2006, 11:54 AM

seems that i don't have the GUI mplayer ...!
m-s,

drkstr · 05-02-2006, 12:13 PM

you needed to add the option '--enable-gui' when you did your ./configure prior to compiling.

hello ,

yes , i know , but i have some problem with the dependences and spesificaly with gtk-devel which also requires some other packages like glib , pango , atk ...

and i'll find some time to try fix it in the near future , but for now i wanted to realy thank you very much , and i owe you ... :-)

thanks ,

No problem my friend, let me know if you have any other questions. I would be happy to help.

I'm sure this is not the correct place to be asking these kinds of questions, so feel free not to reply to this, but I noticed you are from Palestine. I am glad you have finally won your independence. How is everything going over there? Is there still a lot of Israeli oppression or is palestine completely autonomous now? What is the new government like? I am just curious because the news media here in the US spoon feeds us what they want us to hear and it's hard to get the truth about what's actually going on in the world. Thanks for your time! ...drkstr

hello ,
well , this is such a complicated and long issue , hmmmmm ,

why do you think that we got our independence..??????

Quote:

when you say palestine you mean the complete(historical) one or the west bank -gaza ?? well , it does not matter that much because niether of them is autonomous ( free ) ..!!!

Quote:

well,the fact that the party leading the government won the majority of the parliament ( if i remeber truely 76 seats out of possible 120-130 ) tells every thing ..!!
thanks for asking and being interested ... and one last sentence , i have to add that i believe that most of arabs and muslims do not agree with terrorist attacks agains american people such as 11/9 tragedy.....
and to the moderator .. sorry don't get upset because few sentences in politics ..:-)

thanks,
muhammad,

have you tried doing "gcc_select 3" I can't remember the exact command, but when you're in SuperUser mode, you can enter it in to change the default GCC compiler. I got this from Mac OS 10.2. The command might be something minorly different since I can't remember exactly what it was, and I don't want to look it up.

muhammad, thank you for your response. I am grateful to be able to speak to someone with first hand knowledge of the area. Unfortunately your response has actually made me more interested/curious about it since I can see I am very ignorant to the facts. May I ask that if you decide to continue this discussion, to please send your response to my email <armantic...(at)gmail.com> (modified to prevent spam, remove ... and at=@) SInce this would probably not be the best forum to discus it.

Quote:

because that is what my TV told me to think.

Quote:

Please do not take my ignorance as a sign of disrespect. From what I have read and seen on the news, there has been no distintion between the two. What is the diffrence between the complete(historical) Palestine and "the west bank"?

Quote:

Again, I apologize for my ignorance. We have been told that the west bank is now free and it's jolly good times from here on out. What actually happend? Is the west bank still part of Isrial? Idiealy, is it the goal of the west bank (or all of Palastien?) to become completly autonomous, and what is preventing it?

Quote:

I would hope that no one here would actually think this is the case. There is a big difference between ignorance and stupidity. Every religion has it's bad apples, christianity is no exception.

Thanks again for you taking the time to respond to this. I know a lot of my questions are huge in nature and do not have any one simple answer. I am a very curious person by nature and do not like to be ignorant about anything, whether it's Linux or politics. Any information you do decide to share will be greatly appreciated.

regards,
...drkstr
