This is freaking me out now. I spent an hour last night trying to get opie-mediaplayer{1,2} to work.
opie-mediaplayer1 segfauls as soon as it opens. I'm getting QImage errors on the console. The opie-mediaplyer2-skin packages are installed
opie-mediaplayer2 segfaults whenever I try to play a song or view the skin. Same QImage errors.
mp3blaster comes up and says cannot use terminal vt100
I don't think my zaurus wants me to listen to music.
-
i have the same problems with mediaplayer2, when i can get it to install, which is very very rare
-
It's probably important to note that I haven't used opie-packagemanager, I switched it to aqpkg from the command line first thing
-
I haven't got them to work either but xmms works pretty good, for mp3s anyway. I think there's a post about getting the movie part to work. You'll have to search for it or use mplayer.
(I'm assuming you're useing 3.5.1)
Sorry its not mediaplayer but its something.
-
Oh. Yeah, for got that one.
Xmms loads, sees mp3s, but does nothing when I press the play button. No errors on the console. Madness, no?
-
carpman: have you tried .ogg files with xmms? It would help you determine the culprit: whether it's the codec or xmms itself.
In my case, xmms works flawlessly for music although I had to edit xmms.desktop and /etc/mime.types to associate it with audio files. I haven't tried video playback.
Anyway, the fact that it works is about the only positive thing about xmms-embedded. The UI is just wrong for a PDA. It's true some people got mplayer to work in 3.5.1 but it was an older version (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=7770) extracted from an earlier OZ feed, I believe.
