i really want a good gui video player so i can stream some video, so i have xmms (x multimedia system) and the mplayer xmms embedded so it runs video. problem is it doesnt work. When i type mplayer in terminal i get that the codecslconf file is incompatible.
Unless you are running OZ, I wouldn't bother with MPlayer. AFAIK all available versions that actually/possibly do run on a stock Sharp ROM Collie are hopelessly outdated whereas recent MPlayer builds require a Z that sports a PXA processor, since they use PXA instructions for improved performance. (I'm sure
someone will correct me if this is no longer the case )
I've tried vlc but it doesnt work. Two of the packages i need from the main site do not work and do not install.[div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
If you are talking about the Z version propagated via the original VideoLAN website, I'm not surprised. Much like the MPlayer versions claiming to run on Collie it is seriously outdated and will most likely lack in usefulness even if someone manages to make it work.
I was at that point about a year ago and eventually gave up on everything that floated around out there in favour of doing my own thing. That process is fairly well documented here in this forum
So you may want to have a look at [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=8142]this thread[/url] for starters to learn what you can expect and if you really want to give things a whirl, use one of the downloads available from
this thread. It works nicely for me (and, seemingly, for a few others ), though it hardly qualifies for your criteria "good gui player".
Best regards,
Chris.
