[opensuse] Attempting to install RealPlayer
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm attempting to install RealPlayer (I have some videos that need it (3gp)), from <http://www.real.com/realplayer/linux>, in oS 11.2 x64. I got RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm. The first error I got was: Elessar:~ # rpm --install /home/cer/Download/RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libXv.so.1 is needed by realplay-11.0.2.1744-1.i386 Elessar:~ # However, it was already installed: xorg-x11-libXv-7.4-6.1.x86_64 I guess it may need the 32 bit version, so I also installed: xorg-x11-libXv-32bit-7.4-6.1.x86_64 Now it fails in another way: Elessar:~ # rpm --install /home/cer/Download/RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm postinst called with unknown argument `1' warning: %post(realplay-11.0.2.1744-1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 Elessar:~ # I had a look at the postinstall script: case "$1" in configure) echo "postinst..." if [ -x /opt/real/RealPlayer/postinst/postinst.sh ] ; then /opt/real/RealPlayer/postinst/postinst.sh fi ;; abort-upgrade|abort-remove|abort-deconfigure) ;; *) echo "postinst called with unknown argument \`$1'" >&2 exit 1 ;; esac What is happening? I think the rpm got installed, but I don't know how to start realplayer... something else failed, there is no binary I can find. My guess is that the rpm was automatically created from a .deb package and it went bad. A google search finds something related to that, but till this moment I haven't seen a solution. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

I had a look at the postinstall script:

This is simply incompatible. Just use rpm -i --noscripts /home/cer/Download/RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm and run /opt/real/RealPlayer/postinst/postinst.sh manually.

Yes, but they don't work well. Sound did not work for me last time. Perhaps I did not install all the codecs.

Did you use the packman (or for vlc: the packman or videolan-repo) versions? Actually, you don't stumble often over realmedia stuff anymore, and e.g. (elderly) "Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie" .rm are: Selected video codec: [ffrv10] vfm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg RV10 decoder) Selected audio codec: [a52] afm: liba52 (AC3-liba52) and played just fine with mplayer. Also some even older stuff: Selected video codec: [rv30] vfm: realvid (Linux RealPlayer 8 RV30 decoder) Selected audio codec: [ffcook] afm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg COOK audio decoder) I think you need the win32-codec package for the "realvid" "vfm". Anyway: mplayer (and vlc too) should play realmedia stuff just fine, old stuff may need the win32-codec dlls, newer stuff shouldn't.

Bingo! :) Glad it worked, but have a look, as at least mplayer should play that stuff. Mail me a sample URL if it doesn't, so I can have a look. -dnh -- We could use the Bush as a unit of Stupidity applied over time, but in practical use smaller units like micro and milliBush-seconds would be handier.

Let me see... I have a 2 MB one available if you want. Hah, realplayer does not play sound of it, it is not a reliable program. The second time you play something it fails. Or, you can fetch one from some bugzillas I posted. In Bug 605856 there is one. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 11.2 x86_64 "Emerald" GM (Elessar))

Ah. That depends on what target-codec you use with ffmpeg. With e.g. x264/mp3 the result is smaller.
Format : AMR Format/Info : Adaptive Multi-Rate Format profile : Narrow band
You need libamrnb for that format. mplayer from packman is apparently _not_ linked against that lib, vlc (packman) seems to be and plays it ok, so does ffmpeg. -dnh -- Wir haben uns @work darauf geeinigt, dass das verwendete Echtzeit- Betriebssystem wohl deswegen diese Gattungbezeichnung trägt, weil selbst einfachste Operationen *echt* *Zeit* brauchen. -- Stefan Reuther -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
