Opie Mediaplayer2, Still not playing mp3 Options

[Pyrates]

Hi there!

As the topic says... I've installed EVERYTHING a "ipkg list|grep xine" returned, which was quite a lot. Now it plays ogg's (nice ). My xmms can play mp3's (also nice), but the opie mediaplayer2 backs out with a "no input plugin found for this media type". What could I do? Thanks for any pointers..


Cheers

I encountered similiar problems until I ran ipkg-link. After that everything played fine. Also Did you check to see if the codec particular to mp3 playback actually got linked back to root?

[Pyrates]

I ran ipkg-link for sure What's the codec particular to mp3 playback? I think I checked all the mad-related stuff, but I'll do again tonight (that's what' for mp3, right?).

I was going to post my command line output from

#opieplayer2 /mnt/card/music/song.mp3

but that does nothing, so I'm not sure. That used to work in previous OZ versions and I could use the output to diagnose problems with codecs. I doubt it makes a difference but did you install the ipks locally or directly from the feed?

[Pyrates]

Directly from the feed, but I refuse to believe that has something to do with it. I can't possible download all those packages by hand, there are SO MUCH plugins for xine, and as long as I don't know which ones are the ones I need...

Your idea of starting opieplayer from the commandline is good. I did it,but I just get "ERRORCODE 1" nad "No input plugin found for this media type". Maybe you could try again, this time just starting opieplayer2 from the commandline and then play an mp3? That could provide some usefull output...

Cheers

Update: I cannot even play oggs anymore, the same error occurs. I have no idea what's up here, could you please post the location of your plugins, so I can check mine? Thanks...

[uberjoe]

Even invoking opieplayer2 from the command line does not start. I get the same error as if I try to play an mp3 file. Some error about not being able to open an application main window. The only way I can start omp2 is with the gui.

[Pyrates]

That's so weird... could you check anyway where your plugins are? Mine are in some subdirectory of /usr/lib/xine, but not in /usr/lib/xine itself, maybe that's the problem?

That's where mine are located.

I've worked with this a bit and found the following plugins to make sound from mp3s and oggs... unfortunately it's not a good sound. It plays very fast and broken up oggs and 'screechy' mp3s. If you edit the opiexine.cf file in
/root/Settings
uncomment the 'audio.oss_sync_method:softsync' line it fails to play at all.

libxine1
libxine-plugin-ao-out-oss
libxine-plugin-decode-mad
libxine-plugin-decode-mpeg2
libxine-plugin-dmx-audio
libxine-plugin-dmx-mpeg
libxine-plugin-inp-file
libvorbis
libxine-plugin-decode-vorbis
libxine-plugin-dmx-ogg

Let me know if you or anyone gets this to work properly but until then... xmms works great with both mp3s and oggs.

@uberjoe
If you have this working properly could you list your plugins?

Thanks, I've found part of the problem.

You need to install the libxine-plugin-post-audio-filters-xxx.ipk and this creates the /post directory with the libxine-plug-post-audio-filters. You only need that one in the post directory to work. (there are 7 available)

Then you must uncomment the 'audio.oss_sync_method:softsync' line in the opiexine.cf file in /root/Settings.

The following list is installed with opie-mediaplayer2 and the skins:

libxine1
libxine-plugin-post-audio-filters
libxine-plugin-ao-out-oss
libxine-plugin-decode-mad
libxine-plugin-decode-mpeg2
libxine-plugin-dmx-audio
libxine-plugin-dmx-mpeg
libxine-plugin-inp-file
libvorbis
libxine-plugin-decode-vorbis
libxine-plugin-dmx-ogg

Now my oggs sound great but unfortunately mp3s are very choppy... but at least now they play.

Any ideas to improve the sound of the mp3s?

Thanks

Greg

The following packages are loaded on an sd card and linked with ipkg-link. mediaplayer2 works great.

Reporting some weird behavior here.

I tried ipkg install opie-mediaplayer2

It runs fine from the menu, however, mp3s it plays is garbled - it seems like it's not synching, and playing off-beat, missing frames, etc. So I remove it and try opie-mediaplayer1 which works fine (except that pausing seems to have a slight delay)

just an observation... This is with a 250 poodle if it makes a difference (stock oz353 kernel).

Turn on audio.oss_sync_method:softsync in the conf file.
