Re: How to access Mplayer on the N900
 

There is a thread about it where I posted the cause (QT-Update from today has a removed method which is used in SiB (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...928#post482928)). This is unfortunate but should hopefully not be a problem. It is also neither the developers nor Nokias 'fault', just what happens on the 'bleeding' edge (and that name has a reason ;) ).

I also asked plastik (the developer) if he could have a look at it :) So hopefully it will work again soon.

Best regards,
Corwin

Re: How to access Mplayer on the N900
 

try using KMPlayer while SiB isn't properly working

Re: How to access Mplayer on the N900
 

So MPlayer is an application to run media files from xtram? and KMPlayer is the MPlayer UI?

Re: How to access Mplayer on the N900
 

yep. KMPlayer and SiB are GUIs and launch mplayer. :)

while SiB is only mplayer - KMPlayer can use the default player (gstreamer/osso), mplayer and nnp. (you have to choose which one you like to use from a dropdown-menu)

Whats wrong with SiB?

Re: How to access Mplayer on the N900
 

that's what's wrong: ^^

Re: How to access Mplayer on the N900
 

Well since you mention it. I tried to install SiB and it wouldn't install because of a bunch of qt4 libs. I looked for them and didn't see them in any of the repositories.

Re: How to access Mplayer on the N900
 

I am happy with SiB, have not tried out KMplayer if you used both witch one do/did you prefer?

Re: How to access Mplayer on the N900
 

there is a poll for this one anywhere. ^^

mhm... i have to say i prefered SiB because the gui was not so overloaded like the one of KMPlayer.

but since the playback of some files differs (depending on the video-container) either on SiB or KMPlayer i like to change them to look where my video runs smoother.

both GUIs have ups and downs. just try both of them and decide for yourself. ;)
