Have now got xine, ogle and mplayer installed and running under 8.2 onYes, it works here under LM 9.0, and worked before with 8.2, 8.0 and

really rocks!), the first time ever for mplayer. One problem, which
may have been discussed in the list already, is a slight jerkiness in
the display, which I assume has something to do with using the generic
video driver rather than Nvidia's own. It happens with all three
programs whereas xine and ogle have always run very smoothly on my old
500 MHz Pentium III with the Voodoo 3 2000 card and Mandrake 8.1.
Anyway, that is not the question. Does the mplayer gui work for
anybody? It blows up my computer; a nasty clunk from the hard drive,
a BSOD, and an empty error box, then nada. Forced to reboot at that
stage. Tried gmplayer and gui=yes in the config file. Both cause a
problem.
even before that if I can remember correctly. I don't personally se it
though, but my girlfriend does...
Maybe the difference is that I build it myself, instead of installing
pre-compiled binaries which aren't suited to my system. There are long
and large warnings all over mplayer about binaries, and although they do
have a link now to some rpm's now, they still advise everyone to compile
it themselves. I would suggest this too. MPlayer is just too
system-sensitive, but in a good way as it provides a great, stable, fast
running media player;-)
I have a P3 800mh/z, but even on my P1 233mh/s I was sort-of able to
watch a DivX file ... without too my audio delay and stuttering frames.
Yeah it wasn't what I call a success, but it ran well still.
Tried gmplayer and gui=yes in the config file. Both cause a problem.I don't think this is your problem. If you start from a console with
`gmplayer` .. read the warnings if there are any, it may just help you.
Do you have your codecs installed? If the binary of yours built using
libavcodec? libavcodec provides a great decoder / encoder for many
formats, much faster than the win32 codecs.
Just some ideas,

working and I must say the result has been worth it. It performs all it's gmplayer/
mplayer , mencoder functions flawlessly, and fast. There are a number of issues with
M9.0 to be sorted but gradually one by one they were resolved. Ralph has mentioned
libavcodec , there may be a question of lame having libmp3lame, depending upon
which version of lame you have, I also found you needed a further gcc compiler
rpms to get full compiling, and in addition you may need a symlink but the starting
point for a successful build is reporting the output errors from the gmplayer command.
