ilia_kr Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Hi I've installed a win32-codecs package on mandriva2006, but even now i can't play a 'windows media 9' file format. How do i enable its playback? I olso would like XMMS to support wma format, but cant make it play. Please help me with this :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 (edited) wma9 plays fine here after installing win32codecs by using amarok (with the xine engine)/kmplayer (both with the xine and mplayer engines)/kaffeine (actually Amarok crashes pretty often when playing back wma, while kaffeine and kmplayer work quite solidly). I guess this is also possible with some gstreamer frontend, but I do not use gnome so I don't know. No idea about xmms (not using it, its a thing from the past), but beep-media-player can playback wma files with some help from ffmpeg. See for example here: http://bmp-plugins.berlios.de/novelian/project.php?p=bmp-wma Edited May 13, 2006 by scarecrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilia_kr Posted May 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Well wma works after a reboot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilia_kr Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 (edited) ... and now after i reinstalled mandriva2006 xmms doesn't want to play wma again. What should i do? is there any plugin that i couldn't find? Maybe other player that supports mp3 & wma? (can't find that bpm-wma plugin, the link is broken...)

daniewicz Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 How about scarecrow's kmplayer suggestion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Or the xmms-mplayer addon which is a small fake (it just makes the xmms ui using the mplayer engine)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 I normally just do: urpmi xine-win32 which pulls in the win32-codecs, and then I can play them back with kaffeine, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilia_kr Posted August 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 I have both win32-codecs and xine-codecs. I am able to play wma files in Totem but not in XMMS. I personally prefere all my music to be payed on a single player. Fedora have xmms-wma package in its repositories, pity that mandriva doesn't.

Gul Dukat Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 (edited) Fedora have xmms-wma package in its repositories, pity that mandriva doesn't. Are you sure? I can't seem to find it in my yum.repos. Edited August 7, 2006 by Gul Dukat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
