Mplayer Setup Help

[pucho]

Mplayer 0.90pre10-2.95.2 installed to Z5600
but it always returns with error message when
run from terminal:

#mplayer movie.mpg

Failed to open /dev/rtc: Device or resource buys (mplayer should be setuid root or /dev/rtc should be readable by the user)

Using  usleep () timing

If same command is run as root, mplayer also outputs additional message:
Can't open input config file
/home/root/.mplayer/input.conf: No such file or directory

What can be done to get mplayer working on Z5600?
Any clues appreciated. Thanks in advance.

take a look at the "mplayer for pxa" and kino 4 threads. there is a new mplayer and kino that will do just what you want.  Links to the files, etc.

Uninstall the current version of Mplayer and download kino 0.22 from http://zaurus.spy.org/feeds/cacko/qt/24-FE...o2_0.22_arm.ipk.

Upon successfully installing, ignore the GUI function as it does not work on SL-5600.

You can make use of Mplayer bundled to play your multimedia data.

Use "mplayer xxx.mp3" to play audio file and search for the command line options for playing the video files in the forum.

What do you mean by "mplayer for pxa and kino 4 threads."?
Where can it be found? What is Pxa and Kino 4 threads?
Any clues appreciated. Please advise. Thanks in advance.

It works! By the way, is
there a way for mplayer
to display .wmv and .asf videos?

Thank you very much for your help.

I have a 5500 and am having no luck getting mplayer to work.  The mentioned threads don't seem to be of any use for the 5500.  At this point I don't care what I use I'd just like to be able to play mp3s.

I have OpieMediaPlayer2 installed my 5500 Hentges and it plays mp3 just fine. As well as movies too.

drs9222,

TkcPlayer,
http://thekompany.com/embedded/tkcplayer/?...38efcdba683956b,
 is strongly recommended for playing MP3 files.

lol I guess I should have said this
I'm looking for something that will work with gpe 3.5.2 on the 5500
when I said I don't care what I use I ment for the player
Thanks for the help but I'm pretty sure thosw won't work under gpe

Dont know if this helps you, but if you get a working copy of mplayer, here is my mplayer opie-sh script.

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
#Turn off Light&Power Settings
  
qcop QPE/System 'setScreenSaverMode(int)' 2
  
qcop QPE/System 'setScreenSaverIntervals(int,int,int)' 0 0 0
#Set Config Files
  
test -e /root/Settings/opie-sh-mplayer.conf || echo "/mnt/cf/videos" > /root/Settings/opie-sh-mplayer.conf
#Choose path to Media
  
DIR=`opie-sh -i -l -t "Dir" -E -F /root/Settings/opie-sh-mplayer.conf -g`
  
if [ "$DIR" = "" ]; then exit; fi
  
echo $DIR > /root/Settings/opie-sh-mplayer.conf
#Choose Media
  
VIDEO=`cd $DIR; ls -1 | opie-sh -g -i -l -t "Mplayer" -f`
  
if [ "$VIDEO" = "" ]; then exit; fi
  
ARGS=`opie-sh -i -e -t "Args" -g`
#Launch Mplayer
  
mplayer -framedrop $ARGS "$DIR/$VIDEO"
#Restore Light&Power Settings
  
qcop QPE/System 'setScreenSaverIntervals(int,int,int)' -1 -1 -1
  
qcop QPE/System 'setScreenSaverMode(int)' 100
