[newbie] xine - no sound
I compiled the .mdk package of xine 0.9.6 to play .asf files. However, it keeps saying that the audiodriver (null) failed. I'm not sure where to start looking for a problem. All I know is, there is no sound. XMMS and Mplayer plays with sound, though. (although mplayer plays some .asf files too fast) Has anyone ever had any problems with this? thanks in advance.

[newbie] asf files on mplayer runs too fast
I installed the mplayer-0.50-2mdk.i586.rpm using rpm -ivh file command, and it seemed to install properly, finally. (I don't know how to enable -gui using rpm, though :( but I'll make do with terminal mode as long as I get to watch my movies). .avi files run beautifully. .asf files, however, are another story. Both the audio and the video plays too fast. I thought it might be that gcc2.96 issue/bug that the makers of mplayer were talking about, so I replaced that with gcc 3.0.2, with the accompanying dependencies. Then I recompiled mplayer. Nothing changed, though. It still runs too fast. My CPU is an AMD Athlon 750, and my video card is Nvidia TNT2 Vanta. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] divx
I need something that would play divx files. The divx site offers a codec for the xmps player, but I think it looks for xmps-0.2..., and mandrake only has xmps-0.1.3-6mdk.i586.rpm. Has anyone been able to get divx to play? Please help! Meg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] divx
I tried to install mplayer, but it warns me about using gcc-2.96 (which is the gcc version that comes with mandrake 8.1). Has anyone experienced forcing an install anyway? Were there a lot of bugs? I'm willing to downgrade to 2.95.x if it will help, but I can't seem to find it. All the sites just seem to offer the full mandrake 7.2 iso :/ Meg On Sunday 18 November 2001 06:44 pm, you wrote: Yeah sure :-0 There are many programs that support DivX :-) . Personally I prefer MPlayer as it supports many other formats too, including mpg, avi, asf, DivX 3 and 4 ... and so on. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] mplayer won't run
Hello everyone! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction and suggesting that I use mplayer to play divx. My problem now is, when I try to run mplayer to play a divx (*.avi) file, I get the following error: mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libdivxdecore.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory == I followed the suggestions in DOCS/CODECS, and did everything step by step (even to the point of cp'ing the commands I'm supposed to type). I'm really stumped now. what I did was, dl'd the divx4linux...zip file and extracted it to a special directory. I did a cp libdivxdecore.so.0.0.0 /usr/local/lib/ and I did remember to put usr/local/lib to your /etc/ld.so.conf. What am I doing wrong? Meg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

You'll need bzip2 program installed. Use the software packager to make life a lot easier. then bunzip2 filename Meg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Type mplayer and it will give list of commands. vo is for video out I guess, that is which plugin to use, to display you the video. X11 is XShm guess, and sdl is the, sdl :) These are different formats (libraries actually) of displaying, lets say. SDL will work if you have the libs installed, they are on the mdk cds. Try -vo x11 or -vo sdl means you run mplayer with that switch. Like mplayer -vo x11 or mplayer -vo sdl Though I guess all you need is the drivers from www.nvidia.com, Xv is much better than XShm, and even maybe better than sdl too. m Actually, I really just need to get this working. Thanks in advance! the command with the switch worked! I tried to download the drivers from from nvidia, but it wouldn't install because it says that I was using a different kernel, specifically: error: failed dependencies: kernel = 2.4.3-20mdk is needed by NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-1541.mdk80up and this is my current version: Linux version 2.4.8-26mdk ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.96 2731 (Mandrake Linux 8.1 2.96-0.62mdk)) #1 Sun Sep 23 17:06:39 CEST 2001 It looks like mine is the later version, though. Which do you use? Are there other drivers somewhere which you used? Thanks! At least it's working now! Meg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
