Kino2 Won't Stream From Gnump3d But Mplayer Does!?

Hello,

just set up gnump3d on my Linux-Home-Server. It seems to run quit perfect. I can access to it form either Linux and Windows boxes.

However, for sure I like to use my Zaurus....

But it won't work. Fiddle around and thats the results.
Running Cacko on a C1000:

First I run in trouble since Opera likes to download instead of parsing the m3u-list.
Fixed that in Opera-Preferences->File types. I changed the MIME-type for audio/mpeg and add a MIME-type audio/x-mpequrl with the file extension m3u.
Action was changed resp. set to "Open with another application" and for the application I typed kino2.

Didn't work....

Kino2 pops up starts to read (play-button changed to break-button) and stop.
I checked Kino2 preference and set up the preference for streaming used 100Kb later 1024 Kb cache and different bandwith (I didn't know which unit it is asking for)

Didn't work....

I played around with mplayer directly and after some time I found that the following command does the job



After that mplayer starts to stream the file from the server and plays it

O.K. ... so far I added both options to the Kino2 preference since I thougth these are missing there.

Didn't work....

I added the debug output on the preference settings of kino2 and run kino2 from the console.
Everthing seems to look fine. The initial playlist was copied from the server etc. However, all "tests whether it is winamp-playlist, test whether it is m3u-playlist", etc. seems to fail.
I thougth this happens because I just clicked on a singel file instead of a complete playlist. (Nevertheless, gnump3d will create a .m3u-file also for a single file).
Therefore I tried a larger playlist. Now kino2 starts after streaming the playlist to connect to the server again and again but without any progress.

infinity loop, at least for infinity <= 10 min.

I added mplayer directly to the MIME-type-action of Opera and it start to play. However I cannot stop it or adjust it easily.


Does someone know at which knob I have to turn to use Kino2 for streaming from gnump3d ?

It seems to be a little problem since mplayer itself does the job. Therefore I assume, Server, Network and Zaurus are O.K.
mplayer is O.K.
Just either Kino2 as GUI or my brain needs some inital aid .

Thanks for help

Kde-pim And Groupware Sync

Hello,

Sorry if this question was asked already. However, if so I wasn't clever enough to find it.


As far as I understand the sync-procedure from KDE-pim it could sync with a remote file from somewhere. Furthermore, it can read and write iCal and vCard-files.

The question:

Does KDE-Pim really a sync ?
I mean sync implicit that the KDE-Pim import a file, synchronise the data with the internal data and write a file back to allow the other side to import the new information from the Zaurus side.

The background:

At work we are currently thinking about the installation of a groupware software. However, we all have different flavours of PDAs (PPCs, Palms and one Zaurus )
This groupware software should be able to sync with all these PDAs. I found some solutions for Palm and PPC. However, as I expected I didn't found something for the Zaurus. If the KDE-Pim is able to sync with remote files it should be very easy to write a little PHP-script, which first create files for the Zaurus and then import files with all new information (addresses, dates) created by the Zaurus for the groupware.

The cry for help:

Is there anyone here who has some experience with groupware software and PDA sync ?
Can anyone recommend a open source groupware. There are different flavours on sourceforge but I can not decide which one will be the best for PDA sync.


Thanks for helping me out
