Peppercorn Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Hi all, I am using Opera and Mandrake 9.2. I was wondering if someone can tell me how to listen to streaming audio (Microsoft formats mainly) rather than having to download it which is all the choice that I get at the moment.. Thanks for any direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiedra Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 I don't remember if MPlayer is included with MDK 9.2 or not. You can try opening a console and as root type: urpmi mplayer If it comes with it, it will install it, otherwise you can either add sources from contrib, cooker, and plf and type the command or download it directly from their site, but it is a good idea to add sources and use urpmi to take care of dependencies.

chris z Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 do you have all the WinCodecs for Mplayer installed? if not, go HERE to download them. follow the install instructions. basically, you untar the codecs into a directory called wincodecs, or something to that sort. (i'm at work so i can't double check the location) also, even with the codecs installed, i've found that .wmv files are still troublesome. i can get streaming audio in Win formats (i use Opera also), but any .wmv movie file is a toss of the coin.
