I've installed RC1 and installed the packages from pm. I can play mp3 from amarok, xine and other progams. However, I prefer the simplicity of xmms. Unfortunately, it is the only one that doesn't seem to be able to play mp3. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks Eddie
Add the Packman repositories to your list. Spicifically, you need a non-crippled libmad.
Uh, I tend to disagree. On 10.1, I could install i586/xmms-1.2.10-103.pm.1.i586.rpm and i586/xmms-lib-1.2.10-103.pm.1.i586.rpm and everything worked. Now being on 10.2 RC1, installing i586/xmms-1.2.10-200.pm.1.i586.rpm and i586/xmms-lib-1.2.10-200.pm.1.i586.rpm does not help. packman does not have any libmad, so what to do?
Ah, well, yes xmms would work but as distributed from SUSE it will not play mp3, either locally or streamed. Who knows what else is crippled intentionally. Just add this packman mirror to your installation sources : http://mirror.geht-schon.de/packman.links2linux.de/suse/10.2/ and it will fix xmms and a few other things that need fixing. They also have a fully working xine and mplayer there. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
