Re: [newbie] Can anyone recommend a good media player?
I'm running 9.0 Both my MPG videos and DivX's play in Xine, but sound only, the video window is just a blue box. I was just looking at the X Movie Player (http://xmps.sourceforge.net/) anyone tried it, is it any good?

In my limited experience, mplayer really is worth the effort. Someone suggested the rpms, so if you can get those working, then great. If not, compiling mplayer isn't that hard. first, get the win32 codecs and install them where the docs say to -- /usr/lib/win32 iirc. the command to configure is: ./configure --with-gui --disable-gcc-checking this will give a warning, but ignore it (i think you can just hit return). I don't know for sure if the compiler rant applies to the mandrake version of gcc or not, but i've been using mplayer on 8.2 with no problems at all. after configure, just do: make and as root: make install then, do not forget to move [source directory/]etc/codecs.conf to .mplayer/ in your home directory (notice the . in front of the name) -- you may have to make the directory if it doesn't exist. -- Chris Spackman Sat Oct 5 20:23:56 JST 2002 random quote vacation, n.: A two-week binge of rest and relaxation so intense that it takes another 50 weeks of your restrained workaday life-style to recuperate.

if you want compile mplayer on MDK 8.2, because the mandrake use gcc 2.96, its not compatible with mplayer.
