Hi, yzq?
I am using realplay since I downloaded a lot of movies from Internet.
By the way, Does mplayer support wma files?
Can we use wine+windows media player to take the place of mplayer?

[yzq]

hello mliu?      

in fact,mplayer can support wmv,but need win32codes!
this point ,in newest version ,is very easy!
oh god!if i can update GTK+,i will use it with GUI!but...crying!
 

i always use realplayer in windows,but in linux i am not!
i guess you are a expert in using realplayer!
tell me ,do you use realplayer or realone!(two software)
if you only  use realplayer,i like it very much,Can it support all media file?? such as rmvb  !!!  it is a new  format!
thank you!!!!

Dear Yzq:
Yes, Realplay does support rmvb, I am sure it is a goods since there are so many movies on Internet using this format. However, it does not support wma :-<
By the way, when I tried to install mplayer, it always can not pass the independy test. Can you tell me what procedure you installed it? I am using fedora v1...
Thanks in advanced!

Well guys,

   U could use slackware, because of incompatible lcensing issues, WMA files as well as MP3 formats are not supported by quite many distros including Fedora, therefore, u must get the codec independently.

For Slackers (im used Slackware 10, and using 10.1 now). Not a problem. U can even play flash movies on this baby.

Fedora nowadays are as big as an elephant. Man i don't like swapping so many cds and running a sloooow Linux.

Lastly, Realplayer for linux is available at:

Hi, there.
When I tried to install mplayer and it always shows this error message:"libmp31ame.so.0 is required" and can not process any more.
I am using Fedora 1. Since Redhat does not support mp3 any more, should I install any third party thing?
Thanks in advanced.

libmp31ame.so.0 ?

Yes, in this case u definitely new the libmp3ame.

Try finding in the rpm library

www.rpmfind.net

or

google around as this might be no rpm package, in this case, u need to compile this library from sources.

Boys and girls, when im currently using mplayer with KMPlayer as a fronted GUI rather than running it from the scary konsole, it's so cool man, how did i do it?

Well, nothing, i just went up to
http://www.linuxpackages.net
and have it installed on my Slackware 10.1 using it's tarball.

For, Slackware 10.1: To succesfully install, u will need:
1. libdv-xxx
2. libtheora-xxx
3. lame (libmp3lame library)

And lastly of course ur mplayer.

libmp3lame is actually belongs to :
lame-xxx.xxx.tar.gz
