how to run mp3 files on 3.3.6pre1 ??

[dansawyer]

What are the options to support mp3 on 3.3.6pre1??

Try opie-mediaplayer2, it's available in a gcc3 version. Xmms usually is ok as well (not as good, but ok as well), but you'd either have to compile it yourself (try openembedded.org), or use the compat libs, which doesn't really work for me, xmms plays, but the sound is like through a telefone. You could probably use mplayer, too, but that seems a bit... overpowered *G*

Hey,

the problem with xmms and the bad sound ist the version of libmad0. I tried the libmad0 from the opie1.1.4 feed but the sound was choppy and out of sync.
If you use the libmad0 from the xmms embedded feed
http://xmms-embedded.sourceforge.net/feed/oz32
the sound ist great, better then the opiemediaplayer, i think!!

Thank you. I installed opie-mediaplayer2 from the 3.3.6pre1 ipk's. Attempts to play mp3 files result in an error message

"No input plugin found for this medium"

Is a seperate package required for mp3 ??

Thanks,
Dan

Duh? Strange, when you were able to install, you probably have all the dependencies installed, and then it should work... Any errors when installing the dependencies? Unusual location and forgot about the symlinks? Do you get a more verbose error message when you start it from the console?

Bedman: Thanks a lot, I'll try out tonight. I've been looking to resolve this, like, forever, because I want to use xmms instead of the opie-mediaplayer, but really couldnt...

Did you install libogg, etc. which are dependencies of opie-mediaplayer2?

I wrote a topic entitled something like "opie-mediaplayer2" in this bit of the forum.

Works fine for me.

All,

Thanks for the replies. Yes, all the required packages, ogg, vorbis, mad, and xine are installed.

That said they may have been installed incorrectly. I 'copied' /opt to /mnt/card/opt and then created a sym link from / to /mnt/card/opt. The install was then looked like:

iplg -d sd install "package"

The result was some paths to /usr were duplicated.

How are packages installed to an sd card??

Thanks,
Dan

Use "ipkg -i -dest sd package.ipk" and "ipkg-link add package" (check the syntax before; also "-dest sd" might be "-dest card", but you'll get an error message about that if that's wrong...).

cheers
