Media Player For Opie

If you flashed a 64-0 image you no longer have a RAM-disk (the mount point points back to the flash).

I'd install everything to SD (assuming you have little or no free inbuilt-flash space left).

Everything that I install on my zaurus should I place it on the sd card, or just the applications and ipkgs like lib and kernel updates on the zaurus ram? I'm still confused with that.

I am using the 64MB image in my collie, so I install and link everything to the SD card.  That way, when I swap my CF card for the wireless one, I can still run the browser and other internet tools.  So, you'd install like so:

Code: [Select]

ipkg -d sd install name-of-package.ipk
Then link the program (or libs or anything else you just installed via commandline) like so:

Code: [Select]

ipkg-link add name-of-package-here
Hope that helps!

OK, I can get XMMS to work on OZ 3.5.2, and played an mp3 to test it.  However, after searching the forums I am unclear which libs and/or codecs are needed to make it play video.  I would like to play mpeg and avis (Divx and xvid).  There seems to be good guidance on encoding, but not configuring for playback.

If I get it worked out, I will put together a guide....to give back to the forum

BTW, love the work on OZ and Opie guys...keep it up!

I think I saw what to install on the handhelds.org wiki - look at opie.handhelds.org - in any case it's just the xine plugins so perhaps ask someone who's running GPE at the moment and has gxine installed.
