Do I need to replace the whole mplayer installation by installing the packages listed in that URL?

Hi all,

When I was installing SuSE 8.2 I selected the package MPlayer and KMPlayer, at the package description said that this program supports DVD. VCD and DivX.

Please don't use the SuSE package. It is known to be incomplete (due to legal reasons). If you want binaries, get it from here:

http://packman.links2linux.de/index.php4?action=128

Don't forget to get the other dependant packages listed on the page for a full install.

Should we install the mplayer rpm & then the dependents? Or should we install the dependents first? Thanks, -Trey

I would just put them all into an empty directory and do:

rpm -ivh *

That would be the *nice* way to do it but I haven't figured out a way to even get the RPM's by themselves. Seems the web page insists you have YaST load the RPM's and after that they are gone.....

Right click on the link and choose "save as". You will need to rename it though.

That doesn't work on packman, the links are redirectors (most of them, anyway). All you'd save is a little bit of HTML/javascript Go to konqueror's settings->file associations. In the search box enter "rpm", delete all applications associated with rpm, including the one on the embedded tab. The next time you try to download the rpm you should see the "what do you want to do - Save as, Open with, Cancel" dialog

It works, I tried it before replying (you just have to rename the foo.php to package.rpm). I have kget integrated with Konq though, maybe that makes a difference.

That's strange, it works for me now too. I could have sworn it didn't the last time I tried it, I only got the little javascript redirector code. maybe they've redesigned the site so they're not using javascript redirection. Or maybe I'm just confused, and thinking of some other links site

No, Anders, you are not confused. I had the same problem with that site. I deleted the file associations to download the rpm. I don't know if things have changed recently but I had to do that about two weeks ago.

Eddie

Worked for me too... without any changes to file associations. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
