Here is an update on how add MP3 support so that your Impress presentations will also play .mp3, .au, .mov, and .aiff (those are all that I've tested so far). Tested on Ubuntu 7.10 (Gnome) linux using: OpenOffice (standard) 2.3.1 StarOffice8/u9 Sun Java 6 - 1.6.0_03 1. Follow the instructions above to install JMF-2.1.1e - that will allow you to play .wav files in OOo without any problem. Note: you *must* have java installed first - on Ubuntu see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/java) or from within Synaptic install: sun-java6-bin sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin 2. Download the Sun mp3 plugin (javamp3-1_0.zip) to a temp directory: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/mp3/download.html 3. Open Ubuntu's Nautilus (Place|Home Folder): Navigate to the temp directory where you downloaded javamp3-1_0.zip and extract it (double-click and use the archive manager). That will extract three files: mp3plugin.jar copyright.txt license.txt 4. Copy the mp3plugin.jar and your jmf.jar to your jvm ext directory; easiest way is to open Nautilus (your file browser) in root mode - from a terminal: gksu nautilus and then copy mp3plugin.jar and jmf.jar (from the /opt/JMF-2.1.1e/lib directory) to the /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.03/jre/lib/etc directory. You can do the same via the command line from a terminal: sudo cp <directorywhereyouhavemp3plugin.jar>mp3plugin.jar /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.03/jre/lib/etc example using /tempdir: sudo cp /tempdir/mp3plugin.jar /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.03/jre/lib/etc sudo /opt/JMF-2.1.1e/lib/jmf.jar /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.03/jre/lib/etc 5. Now the instructions on http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/mp3/download.html indicate that you can issue: java com.sun.media.codec.audio.mp3.JavaDecoder and the plugin will be registered. I've found that doesn't work, and instead from a terminal: cd /opt/JMF-2.1.1e/bin sudo ./jmfregistry Once in the jmf registry: - click on Plugins then Codec - in the white box just below "Codec" enter: com.sun.media.codec.audio.mp3.JavaDecoder - click "Add" and the codec should get registered. If it does not, go back to the basic instuctions for JMF and make sure that you've followed the "export" instructions". - click "Commit" - click on the "User Settings" tab, and click "Commit". That should do the trick, and you then should be able to use .wav, .mp3, .au, .mov, and .aiff in your OOo. Hopefully someone (automatix?) will come along and do a script that does all of this for you, but until then the above should work. Happy New Year All. Gary Note - Ubuntu OOo & other flavors of ximain OOo (Suse/Novell, perhaps Fedora, etc) already have this built in via gstreamer. It would be *wonderful* if standard OOo and StarOffice8 would do something similar so that their linux users do not have to go through the above. It would also be cool if perhaps someone from the ximian team could post information on how they use gstreamer vs JMF w/mp3plugin.jar --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
