Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

OK, thanx

Like I said before anything else than windows and i am pretty much lost. But i´m willing to learn. Yes I have seen your other thread and am following it. Btw where should i post my questions here or in the mlb viewer thread ?

My first problem ( as expected ) was that i can not install the "python-simplejson-0.0.1-1_all.deb" from the first page of your other thread. Downloaded on the n800, but cannot install :confused:
Tried using the red pill mode but still could not install. Geuss i´m missing something huh ? I have os2008 installed,and mplayer .27.

Anyway, If you could spare some of your time to explain this installation to some real inexperienced users would be highlly appreciated. I know this is a work in progress and i would definetly wait a while for easy install instructions :D
Maybe someone else that has mlb viewer working could help me out with instructions ( pretty simple i´m sure) on how to install the above mentioned .deb file :)

Once again Thnx

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Hello, I'm having problems with the mplayer plugin. I followed the instructions on the first post on this thread and everything seemed to go smoothly (no error messages or anything).

So I fire up the browser and go to the test sites mentioned in one of the links from the first post. The problem : the media files don't play. There's a message box where the file should be with the message "Mplayer Plugin. Getting Playlist......" Then nothing. Nothing plays and if i click on it nothing happens. A message comes up in the box "playing...." then "stopped" but nothing plays.

Any idea on what can be wrong?

Edited to make myself more clear.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Can be from the fact that mov files changed again (if you tried with Apple site) or because it was compiled for Chinook. :)

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Works for me fine under Diablo :)

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Hey!

I tried installing this app, but I have some problems with it. I am not able to install libxpm4.

I first tried using App manager in red pill mode and install from file but I get an "Incompatible application package".

I then tried apt-get install libxpm4 in xterm, but I get a different error, saying:

"E:Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock administration directory (var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?"

Can anyone help, please :)?

Note that my linux knowledge is very limited.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

You have to close app manager first.

Thanks, works now!

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

ukki asked me to put this one in Extras, so I have done so. It's the latest 3.55 version with Bundyo's fixes and some little fixes done here. It's working in Tear as well as MicroB.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Hi guys.

Please excuse me if I have asked anything that is obvious already. I have had my n800 for only 3 weeks and in that time have almost never left my seat looking up things on this invaluable site. These things can do so much thanks to this community. Anyway I have just installed mplayer plugin in its latest version. Straight from the application manager and it seemed to install fine. I thought it was not working as a site (just.in tv) stopped showing the video so uninstalled it but it left the plug-in entry in the component list so I reinstalled it and then everything worked. God that sounds clear as mud!

Anyway I just can't find an answer after hours of looking through here so may I ask......

Is it normal for the plugin to start getting a playlist or something (eg nasa tv) and then just stop? I am guessing the format is not compatible?

Also when I watch something that requires the plugin (I used apple trailers too after see it as a test site here) is it normal for it to play ok but also save a copy of the file to my sd card? That is what is happening. Oddly the mplayer plugin test site didn't play but just saved the file and then I could play it from there.

Finally........I notice on the plugin listing here under downloads it has a configurable screen? How do I bring that up? I am using the included browser.

Thanks to anyone who can help. I am learning but it takes time. Complete Linux noob.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Probably there are incompatible sites out there, unfortunately Apple is already one of them. It doesn't work even with the Dekstop version of mplayer plug-in, so no luck there :)

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Have grabbed the source for this - but before I make an attempt at compiling for fremantle - dont suppose anyone else has thought about porting this to the n900?

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

The main problem is that it is too old. It doesn't work with apple.com/trailers anymore for instance and most other sites use flash. I don't plan on updating it anyway.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Would it be another way to get microb to start mplayer or another player like vlc?

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

I installed mplayer plugin on n900 and it worked :)
Now I can play NRK nett-tv. I have to push the fullscreenbutton and the I get picture. The picture isn't fullscreen, but it works.

I had to remove .mplayer directory to get the sound to work because I got settings for n770 in there.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Why not? :(
IMHO some script here and there will never make up for a decent plug in...
Isn't it possible to improve it any further? Or is it to much up to the original developers...

I've found some workarounds and I plan to test the plug in as well.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Kevin DeKorte is working on "mplayerplug-in for mozilla". Latest patch was only a week ago...

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

The plugin is working for n900 and latest mplayer.
The configfiles in /home/user/.mplayer must be changed or removed for the plugin to work for n900. The settings installed is for n770.
For me noembed=1 worked best.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Have you found a way to launch it outside the web browser?
Is that what noembed does?

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

@bec noembed=1 in the mplayerplug-in.conf gives you a mplayer session where you can push 'f' to toggle fullscreen, 'm' to mute etc.

But I guess its something like this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/446 you want ported to maemo.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

I was just testing is on my pc as you mentioned it :D

I don't know how but it seems to work in microb as well :eek:

I taught it would need complex recompilation & stuff. Checking it out now in mozilla(pc)/microb. I'll report back later ;)

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

could you tell me what you did to install the plugin on Maemo 5?

On my desktop linux install I use it all the time, and it would be very useful on my N900 also.
i am not very good at compiling from source, I usually just use the repositories.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Ok, tested a whole lot of plugins ad although they seem to install properly in microb there's no go.

MediaPlayerConnectivity 0.9.3 loads ok on the pc but it doesn't stream, on the N900 it doesn't load at all.
Some porting will be necessary after all I guess...


I simply went to the plug-in's address via the browser (google it up and it should show up on the mozilla website)

It installs but it doesn't work...
On the pc it does work but I can't launch any videos, can you? what sites? what options?

I also found something that I'd like to have in microb: http://www.downloadhelper.net/
It starts a download that I can easily open with mplayer; Unfortunately this installs & doesn't work as previously mentioned.
I wrote to the developers... maybe they'll consider it.
