I'm running SuSE 8.1. I'm trying to play some AVI movie files, which play flawlessly on my Media Player in Windows. If I try and open the files in Konqueror, the task list says Mplayer and I see the hourglass moving for about 30 seconds, then the Mplayer entry disappears and nothing happens. If I open a terminal and use the command "mplayer (filename)", the movie opens with a green screen; the audio works fine. I used Yast to reinstall the Mplayer package, but that did not correct the problem. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Please advise. Thanks. Vince
Hello,
Go to mplayer site : http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/ Download the win32codec and un-tar it to /usr/lib/win32 Relaunch the media player
Enjoy with it
A+
Mplayer should be compiled with win32codec support to be able to
use it. Have no idea which version SuSE ships, but it always
makes sence to download and compile the last available version,
sicnce it developes pretty fast and may have already fixed the
bug you face (if it's a bug in the player). I that all doesn't
help, please run mplayer -v
