CHris, Andrew,
I have both Mplayer, and Xine installed on all of our Linux servers,and
Xine works fine as out web embedded video player, and Mplayer is used
for playing "local video clips.
If youd like ill email our school FTP site and you can download the
RPM's to install to make it happen.
That is a very generous offer. Thanks. Unfortunately, I'm running
Slackware, so RPMs are not ideal in my case. However, I would certainly
be interested in details of any working setup for seeing video on thin
clients. I've been putting this problem off for too long now. Just to
give you an idea, I can start gmplayer or xine, but the moment I try to
select a file, vcd or dvd, the app (running on the server) freezes.
Using mplayer from command line works, but no amount of autosyncing,
framedropping or audio delay seems to cure the syncing problem or do
away with the 'Your machine is too slow' messages. The thin client is a
K6-2/400, with 250M RAM and a SIS315 with 32M RAM, on its own gigabit
subnet. The server is a P4/1.8 with 1 giga RAM (a bit less as HIMEM is
not enabled). The files are all sorts. The problems occurr when there is
no other activity on the LAN. I used to use gmplayer on the server OK,
until I made it headless. I also use it ok locally on a separate
workstation. The thin client in question works perfectly when using
browsers, Open Office, Blender, etc. Either I'm missing something very
basic (always a possibility in my case), or else...
TIA,
Andrew
