I never gotten it to work either, a few of the codecs do -- I think the win32 only ones, but not the Unix ones from linux-realplayer. I'm sure mplayer/xine being natively compiled while the real codecs are mostly linux libraries via compat must be the problem. If someone wants to fix this, do look at what NetBSD does. They have a seperate real codecs package for it, I'm not sure what they do but their mplayer/xine do work with the rv1 to 4 codecs, and no errors about cook and all. I've had problems getting mplayer and xine to work with real codecs on linux, some error with cook.dll or something. I think it will only work with rp8 or rp9 codecs, but even though didn't work when I was running in linux. I finally gave up and installed realplayer 10 which works good in both linux and freebsd. Who needs realplayer anyway :P PS when i play a mp3 with xmms i can do as much as i want, it will never interfear with the playing music. With mplayer i can have for example a cash size of 10 secondes but after 10 seconds i can manege to do a buffer underrun. How i can tell mplayer to do the same buffering as xmms ? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How do you convert realmedia to other formats with mplayer? Or maybe first: how do you play realmedia streams with mplayer? I have mplayer download files and output them to wav format, then convert them to ogg, mp3 or whatever smaller format I want. The command I use for converting from realmedia to wav is below.

It doesn't give a whole lot of information on why it crashed, unfortunately. Perhaps a strace would give more clues? For video, I typically do a command more along the lines of mplayer -dumpfile somefile.rm -dumpstream rtsp://sub.somedomain.com/path/file.ram;. This only downloads it, instead of converting it, simply because I haven't found a good free format to use instead of realmedia. :-( HTH, Jacob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
