Spooky mediaplayer woes

[carpman]

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.

[carpman]

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 extracted from an earlier OZ feed, I believe.

Ok, xmms works. The mp3 was corrput. Phew. Thanks for the help all.
