hea Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 I have been trying for a while to get both mozilla1.1, konqueror and opera6.11 to use different mediaplayers to stream movies/sound. I have both realplayer and mplayer installed and appearently working fine, but i always end up with "missing plugin" or "download MSmediaplayer" when trying to make it work. Have anyone managed to solve this? Btw. i did get xine to work as radioplayer via a "choose application" menu. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hea Posted January 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Thanks for the link. Followed the instructions. Now there comes a message: mediaplayer plugin - loading movie... and thats it. (hangs) Any idea ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 read this :) http://www.pclinuxonline.com/modules.php?n...rticle&sid=4291 Sweet.

Guest dturley Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 Is it hopeless: GCC 2.96 IS NOT AND WILL NOT BE SUPPORTED BY US ! *** For details please read DOCS/users_against_developers.html *** Error: Bad gcc version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtweidmann Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 These are rpms avaliable for it on KDE apps site. But I think you have subscribe to get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vdubjunkie Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 Is it hopeless: GCC 2.96 IS NOT AND WILL NOT BE SUPPORTED BY US ! All they are saying is they want you to update your gcc version. This is not very difficult, but VERY time consuming. You can get the latest version from.. http://gcc.gnu.org/mirrors.html Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hea Posted January 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 Booted from windows partition last night for the first time in months. I recently got access to adsl-connection and ofcourse had to play with this new toy. Streaming movies has suddenly become possible, well that is if i boot from windows :( . Streaming movies is not a big issue to me, but it would be a very embarrassing if my windows friends should find out that i was not even able to. Is this posible in Linux? Has anyone of you got this working or should i just give it up for the time being? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MottS Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 That is the solution to every pluggin problem: http://www.hubbe.net/~hubbe/plugger.html BTW, you don't need to build MPlayer from source. Some nice people out there build it for us and put the result in an RPM. Add some sources (PLF, Textar and maybe Contrib) to your urpmi database and search for 'mplayer' in RPMDRAKE. You should have some entries. Install mplayer with the dependencies and install 'Plugger' too ... Here is an easy place to get the right command to urpmi.addmedia http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/urpmiweb.php Hope that help MOttS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hea Posted January 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 Thanks, but i found that plugin and tried it last night. It worked for the demos, but not otherwise! But if you've got this working then there is hope. This will be another late evening i guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dturley Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 tried that site, no matter what version you select fromt he pull down, the command returns 9.0 If MD actually produces a 9.1 version guess I'll have to upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sglafata Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 I had built my MPlayer from source and it worked perfect. In order to get Mozilla to recognize it: whenever I clicked on a file that it did not recognize and would ask whether to "Save As or Open With..." ,I would click "Open With..." and browse for the mplayer executable (/usr/bin/mplayer or /usr/local/bin/mplayer), and select it. Then click on Advanced in the "Save As or Open With..." window and create a "Helper Application" entry. This way, mozilla will always recognize the file type and open it appropriately. You can also edit/add entries by selecting Edit > Preferences > Navigator > Helper Applications. The same process can be followed for any file that Mozilla does not recognize by default (i.e. - ASF, MPG, RAM, WMV, DOC, PDF, etc.) Obviously, plugins will assist in recognizing some file types. I'm sure Konqueror has a similar process, but I only use it for file management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dturley Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 sglafata, what version of MD do you have? doesn't appear thar mplayer will build under standard 8.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sglafata Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 I am using LM9.0. The version of MPlayer that I had rebuilt from source was the MPlayer0.90rc1. Of course, I'm using GCC3.2. The folks at MPlayer do not recommend using GCC2.96. You might want to give PLF's version a try. He has it compiled for LM9.0 and he is at MPlayer0.90rc3. I'll get it going as soon as I feel that my system is stable enough. Overall, I'm not really satisfied with LM9.0, but that's another post.

illogic-al Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 i'm using 9.0 too. mplayer compiles fine under gcc3.2 and I put up a tutorial in the tips and tricks section which is pretty much useless now since plf mirrors have mplayer rc3 packages. buut for those who want to compile from source ...
