.. in that add-on you can easily configure an external program that plays for example those .asx and .asf files. The best one I have found (that understands each and every format and every web-page) is kmplayer.
Errr.. KMplayer uses either MPlayer or Xine as it's backend... So... if you were having problems with the mplayer-plugin but kmplayer worked, then I'm guessing that you didn't have the w32codecs installed, and that KMPlayer was configured to use Xine and Gstreamer... or something along those lines.
In my experience, MPlayer and the w32codecs will play everything except DRMed video - just as well as Xine will.
Err.. please go to the following page. ;) http://www.radiojai.com.ar/OnLine/ Then click the tab "Música" and choose any of the radio stations. .. does not play with mplayer plugin, but with kmplayer it works! So why is this? If you look at the address bar in the opening window, you can extract the following line (for example, if you chose the "jasidica" radio station): http://www.rhp.com.ar/canales/jasidico/jasidica6.asx Now if you pass that to mplayer in command line, it does not play a thing. If you pass that same address to kmplayer, it works fine and gives the output: mplayer -wid 65012477 -slave -vo xv,sdl,x11 -ao alsa,oss,sdl,arts -framedrop -contrast 0 -brightness 0 -hue 0 -saturation 0 -cache 128 'http://www.rhp.com.ar/canales/jasidico/061.wma' -identify The conclusion: it seems that kmplayer does its own processing of the .asx format and then passes the things it finds in the .asx file to mplayer.. Cheers, Sampsa P.S. That was a fine example of those .. extraordinary.. web-pages my mom visits. ;) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
