problem with mplayer or rather kplayer

[hackbert]

Hi,
I just tested to play a video with the bt3 live-cd using kplayer. It didn't work, but with bt3-beta live-cd and kplayer some days ago it worked. I don't know if it's a "bug". But here is the way i fixed it. Maybe not the best solution :-/

1. boot with the bt3-beta live-cd
2. search for "mplayer" in /
3. copy everything to a temporary folder (e.g. hard disk):

/etc/mplayer
/etc/input.conf
/etc/mplayer.conf

/usr/bin/mplayer
/usr/lib/mplayer/vidix/*.*
/usr/share/mplayer/font/
/usr/share/mplayer/skins/default/*.*
/usr/share/mplayer/subfont.ttf

4. boot with the bt3-final live-cd
5. copy everything from 3. to corresponding location of the running system

now, kplayer should play videos.

Maybe this procedure is not necessary after a bt3-final hard disk install.

enjoy it :)

The same here, KPlayer is unable to play videos, it hangs, and I have to terminate it. Is this a bug ??

Thanks for support

I too had problems trying to play videos using kplayer, mplayer, etc.. Mplayer still does not work on my laptop. VLC worked for me to play dvds, but when playing a wmv, it would only play sound but not video. I finally got kplayer to work by following the instructions for Mplayer setup here : http://circolinux.blogspot.com/2007/06/slackware-12-rc1-review_26.html .

I don't know why my kplayer didn't work initially, but after trying the Mplayer setup indicated above, my Mplayer still does not work, buy my Kplayer started working. I'm a newbie, so I might have some newbie luck.

good luck.
