Guest CloakedPenguin Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 Okay I've loaded MPlayer and it's playing my DVD (Scary Movie) I can hear it very well, does an awesome job. But I have no picture just a blue screen. What can I do to fix this??? :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 Did you do a urpmi mplayer? It had a bunch of support packages including codecs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab2ms Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 preferences--> video --> choose x11 I had to do that too because it defaulted to the xv choice, and I didn't like all videos looking like windows :lol: hope that's the fix for you also...

Guest CloakedPenguin Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 Okay I would find that preferences--> video --> choose x11 in the gui wouldn't I? I can't seem to get the GUI started. How do I do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tomasz Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 always try mplayer -h or mplayer --help. these options work for the most linux apps :roll: :lol: :shock: :D :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab2ms Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 did you compile mplayer with the "with-gui" option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tomasz Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 simply trype configure --gui or configure -gui its a long time since my last compiling of mplayer :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tomasz Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 ...you don't need to compile mplayer. just download all the mplayer files from the following ftp server (some small libs will be needed too, but rpmdrake will tell you which ones): ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/mandr...0/contrib/RPMS/ and don't forget to download and install divix and the Win32 codec before! http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/dload.html http://www.divx.com/divx/linux/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CloakedPenguin Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 okay I tried gmplayer, mplayer -gui, and it doesn't work. I believe I did configure it to run in gui mode. I don't know but I'm thinking about uninstalling and then re-installing to make sure that I do configure it to use gui. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CloakedPenguin Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Okay so I've uninstalled and now I'm trying to reinstall from what tomasz gave me for links. I'm going along installing the differn't lib's I need. but when I go to install the libgii0 one it keeps asking for libgg.so.0 and libgii.so.0 um where do I find these? I can't find it in that list!

johnnyv Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 did you try running gmplayer as su as i recall i had to change the permisions on gmplayer so i could run it as a normal user. just as i thought i don't know jack! heaps of other people but no jack :P Oh you need all the dependencys su urpmi mplayer* give all the dependancys goto rpmfind.net search for the missing stuff download all the packages you need put them all in the folder with your mplayer rpms su urpmi *.rpm if more dependancies write them down goto rpmfind.net search download into mplayer folder su urpmi *.rpm again do this untill there are no more dependancies. It should work. make sure you get packages for 9.0 - i assume your using 9.0 if not get for whatever version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
