Title: Using Opie-Mediaplayer2
Post by: lardman on April 08, 2004, 06:17:43 am

I\'ve used xmms & mplayer for as long as I can remember basically because back in the old days opie-mediaplayer didn\'t work.

Now I flashed OZ3.3.6pre1 onto my C750 yesterday and although mplayer will work, xmms won\'t, so I thought I\'d give opie-mediaplayer2 another go. With some trepidation as so many people seem to complain that it doesn\'t work (or perhaps they, like me, were just thinking back to the old days?).

Anyway it installed fine though it does play songs too fast, however there is also a fix for this (from the mailing list: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message...msg_id=6884249) (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=6884249)).

I\'ll repeat the steps in the above link:

Install the following in this order (all in the feed)
-------------------------------------------------------

1) liboggXXX.ipk
2) libvorbisidecXXX.ipk
3) libmadXXX.ipk
4) libxineXXX.ipk
5) opie-mediaplayer2-skin-default-landscapeXXX.ipk
6) opie-mediaplayer2-skin-defaultXXX.ipk
7) opie-mediaplayer2XXX.ipk

where the XXX is whichever version is currently in use.

If it plays too fast then the fix is to go to /root/Settings and edit opiexine.cf to uncomment the \'audio.oss_sync_method:softsync\' line.

Hopefully this will help someone.

Recently got a Zaurus 5600 and spent the last couple days acclimating to the different roms and getting audio playback.

Using OZ3.3.6pre1 and following lardman\'s post, opieplayer2 can play ogg, wav, and mp3. I\'ve tried playing mpegs and divx encoded avi\'s. In both cases the movie began to play. But after serveral seconds it freezes, in some cases crashing Opie.

For newbies like me, when you install opie player be sure to use the experimental feed!

Thanks for the post lardman!

I got mediaplayer2 working on my 5600 w/OZ3.3.6pre1.  Thank you to lardman on his post.

One question on it\'s use, specifically the volume control.  It is real slow at changing the volume.

Anyway to fix that?

Did you install it on a fat formatted CF/SD/MMC card? If so you\'ll need to make the symlink yourself manually (and directly).
