| Post subject: | MPlayer not installed? |
I'm not sure that this is an installation question (maybe a usage forum is needed?). Apologies if its in the wrong place. After getting knoppmyth up and recording nicely I setup samba and transfered my video files to the mythtv video directory. Some are mpeg some are avi. When I go to play any of the videos it flashes "Loading" on the screen for a second then nothing happens. I noticed during the mythtv setup that mplayer was the default video player. Is mplayer installed as part of knoppmyth? If not what are the steps to install it? Thanks. |

Yes, MPlayer is installed. /usr/bin/mplayer in R3. /usr/local/bin/mplayer for R4. Usage forum...thanks for the idea. cesman |

| Post subject: | Getting Loading and nothing happens |
What was the resolution to this problem? I am having the same problem.. Click on a video and it says 'LOADING' for about a second and the does nothing. I am able to play the video using the same options from xterm. I haven't be able to locate any error messages in any of the logs in /var/log but that might just be ignorance of where to look. Thanks in advance for any help and thanks to the developers of this distribution. This is the third distribution I have attempted to use and this is by far the closest I have to a working prototype. |

Have you pressed "Video Manager" to re-find all the videos? Perhaps the names you have in the list are pointing to non-existant files. |

Yes, I selected video manager and all of the videos were found. I also noticed the mplayer command was pointing to /usr/local/mplayer. When I attempted to play a video with that player, I got 'Illegal Instruction'. I dropped into xterm, tried using mplayer with no path, failed with illegal instruction. Su'd tried using it with no path it worked. Exited su and tried with /usr/bin/mplayer and worked. Fixed the path in settings and everything worked. I have to admit I shouted out loud and scared my wife. Thanks. |
