mplayer install problems

[Rexyboy]

I am just trying to install AlienBBC on my ClarkConnect (v3.2) box and started by installing mplayer. I downloaded the mplayer-1.0-52_pre7try3.rhfc2.at.i386.rpm version of mplayer and got a huge list of missing dependencies (see below). I am sure there will be a few more challenges to come as I am a linux newb but I am wondering if there is a .rpm or easier way to install the depandencies without finding them one buy one.

Thanks.

mplayer can play many different formats both audio & video but for AlienBBC you only need a limited audio support. Unfortunately the rpm you are using wants to load the full gamut of audio & video support.

The pre7 version of mplayer has RealAudio problem with live BBC - I'd advise to download the latest mplayer cvs and build your own version you'll have less problems in the long run.

Here's my guide to compiling MPlayer on CC3.2

It uses the latest source from cvs, and includes the codecs AlienBBC needs.

Please let me know if you find any errors.

Thanks for the links... I could have used those about an hour earlier. But I actually got everything up and running quite quickly. I compiled my own version of mplayer (first ever) and evreything worked first time.

Not bad for a newb.... if I do say so myslef.

Thanks again

Pah ... I build my own kernels these days ;-)

Glad you got it working.
