hey ppl i just merged mplayer and tried to play a few files... what happes is that mplayer just freezes and i have to shut it down manually in a sm... i believe the problem is occurign because i do not have the firght codec/filters....
is it possible for someoen to give me the names/commands for the these codec's?
1] Divx (preferable 5.01 or the latest version) I would love to have Dr. Divx..
2] Xvid
i also need an ac3 audio filter...
ps: can mplayer play dvds? just to confirm it can play mpeg and avi's rite??
thxx...

mplayer should play divx and xvid out of the box. I know I've never had any problems with anything MPEG4 that wasn't corrupt. And even in the case of corruption, mplayer usually handles them better than anything does in the Windows world IMO.
mplayer can also support DVDs, but it has to be emerged with the "dvd" USE flag.
I'm not sure about AC3, personally; I don't have anything that has AC3 audio in it to test. |

Are you using alsa?
then mplayer -ao alsa9
or oss? (the sound modules from the kernel)
then mplayer -ao oss
Try them, when you found what works put it into your /etc/mplayer.conf

You have to tell mplayer to play something. Examples:
mplayer -ao alsa9 yourmoviefile.avi
mplayer -ao oss yourmoviefile.avi
mplayer -ao sdl yourmoviefile.avi
when you find one that works - edit your /etc/mplayer.conf (ao=whatever ... make sure to remove the # in front of the line)
...I have successfully played divx,xvid,ac3,wmv,mov...and quite a few others with mplayer. No problem. |

Hey all, mplayer is working fine now, this is how i solved it incase anyone runs into the same problem again.
I noticed that i could play using mplayer in root, but not in user, therfore i modified the /etc/group and added my user to the video option. I am not sure if that is what is enabled the mplayer to not crash or was it just a fluke. Can someone confirm this?
Thx all...
