There are also many other players out there. You should all take a look before hoping WMP every comes to *nix. Some of you OSX p33ps might think about this too. I'm not sure how compatible things are but i heard something about X11 support now. Should make is much easier to get good software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotix Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Coming along nicely... all XINE and MPlayer need now are a browser-plugin, IMO. That way I wouldn't have to use Windows Media Player in Phoenix/Mozilla on Linux anymore, since Microsoft doesn't officially support it or like it on that platform. :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neowin_hipster Posted January 9, 2003 Author Share Posted January 9, 2003 Yea, browser plug-ins would be simply great!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MulletRobZ Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 For some strange reason, I can't install MPlayer with the rpm -ivh method. The errors pertain to the mplayer-skin and mplayer-vidix-driver package not being present. There is NO mplayer-skin package and when it comes to the Vidix drivers, there aren't any available for NVidia. Guess I'll have to stick with Xine.

mezz Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 As for MPlayer, I highly recommend you to compile on your own rather than grab the crap RPM. Because, it will make a lot faster and smoother than what RPM has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bararum Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 not to bring up an old dead board but i just played a quicktime file in mplayer (i just installed linux after a couple month's without it, and quicktime has also just recently been decoded). It played better than the official quicktime player in windoze! i am sooo happy right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
