Hi, what deps need to be installed for xmms/xmms-mplayer in order for it to work.
Trying to get it up on an sl-6000 with the vanilla rom. Not ready to flash yet
Thanks

Take a look here: http://xmms-embedded.sourceforge.net/feed/oz32/ (http://xmms-embedded.sourceforge.net/feed/oz32/)
I\'m not recommending you use this feed, but it does contain all of the files so you can look at the names, etc.
For xmms you need xmms itself + the skin, and possibly zlib. To make it do anything you\'ll also need the xmms-mplayer plugin. To make mplayer do anything you\'ll need mplayer itself and at least libmad.
The other thing to do it to run it from the command line and see what it complains about not finding (or run \'ldd xmms\', etc.)

thanks for the tip ... got it working, albeit only from the terminal. Any attempt to launch it from the icon gets a \"please wait\", then exits. Any ideas on this ? CAn\'t see anything obvious in the qt xmms icon that needs changing (calls xmms ... what else ?)
Thanks

I assume you had xmms running from the terminal?
It might be an LD_LIBRARY_PATH (ie. not finding libs) problem - /opt/QtPalmtop/qpe.sh might not export the same as you get in the terminal.
Other than that I\'m not sure.

Ah, ok, I had this problem recently after I did a hard reboot.
I\'m on a 5600, using xmms .00005pre, your mileage may vary.
After installing xmms, there will be a .xmms directory in /home/root
You need to copy this directory to the directory of the user that gui run as. On the 5600 that\'s /home/zaurus; specifically, if the file \"config\" is missing, xmms will attempt to malloc about 500MB on startup. 500MB of memory not being available, it will of course fail.
# cp -r /home/root/.xmms /home/zaurus/
Then you\'ll find that xmms, like a lot of qtopia programs, is sensitive to the ownership of the Qt/Embedded file; specifically you\'ll get messages that \"QT/Emdedded is not owned by user N\" where N is the uid of the usr trying to run xmms. Somehow, trying to run from the console (perhaps if su root) causes problems with this.
Rebooting may fix this; a sure fix is a chown.
The \"Qt/Embedded\" files are in /temp, named qtembedded-USERNAME, thus qtembedded-root and qtembedded-zaurus. Make sure qtembedded root is owned by root and group qpe, make sure qtembedded-zaurus is owned by zaurus:
# su root
# chown root:qpe /tmp/qtembedded-root
# chown zaurus:qpe /tmp/qtembedded-zaurus

Thanks for that. I\'ve been trying to get xmms to work with my SL5500 for a while, and I\'m running into the problem with the program loading 500MB. My \'config\' file is missing from the .xmms directory. Is there much in there? Can you paste the contents so I can add it? Or maybe it\'s in a different location.

Nevermind....I\'ve found it. From another post the files are in the /opt/Qtopia/lib/.xmms folder. Copy those over to the /home/<whatever>/.xmms folder. Now it runs!

Hmm,
I am getting libxmms not found errors
I've not got a /homr/root/.xmms dir,
I have got /home/QtPalmtop/lib/libxmms.so
where ic xmms lokking fore these files?
-
Probably in a directory which appears in LD_LIBRARY_PATH - I'd say /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib
Surely the lib wasn't installed to /opt/QtPalmtop/lib by the ipk?
If the above turns out to not be true, check that the symlinks to the minor and major versions of the lib exist:
libxmms.so -> libxmms.so.X
libxxms.so.X -> libxmms.so.X.x
as these are usually (in my experience) what the app looks for, not the bare .so file.

Thaks for the pointers.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is /home/QtPalmtop/lib and /usr/lib is linked to /home/root/usr/lib
which I guess is why the IPK installed them where it did.
I've linked /home/QtPalmtop/lib/xmms dnd libxmms to /usr/lib
ln -s /home/QtPalmtop/lib/xmms /usr/lib
ln -s /home/QtPalmtop/lib/libxmms* /usr/lib
and that looks to have sorted the "not foud " issue.
I get Glib-Error could not allocate 529335168 bytes. so I guess I'll go try and track that down now..
Update:
I had no config file in ~root/.xmms.
Fixed that. Now all I need to do is get it to play sometnig
-
Update:
It plays ogg files but not MP3's.
When run from a shell I get a message saying "nobody recognised File.mp3"
Am I missing a plugin? I've seen mention of problems with Lame encoded files but I dont think these were.
Anyone had the same/fixed it?
-
I'm having the same problem with mp3s. Video works ok tho!
mp3 works great in mplayer, but not xmms,
any suggestions.
Thanks

Your sig shows your using OZ3.5.4-rc... so you will have to edit your ipkg.conf file like I've posted in this thread:
https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=16111 (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=16111)
Then install xmms-embedded (with it's depends) from the feeds using your package manager or in the terminal with ipkg.
