I want to have AlienBBC (http://www.x2systems.com/AlienBBC/installation.html). It depends on SqueezeCenter (http://www.slimdevices.com/) which in turn depends on mplayer. So I need to install mplayer but have been totally confounded: * I tried the RPM => http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html ==> http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/projects.html#unofficial_packages ===>http://packman.links2linux.org/package/128, both the MPlayer-1.0rc2_r27637-3.pm.3.i586.rpm and the MPlayer-1.0rc2_r27637-3.pm.3.src.rpm source RPM. The first comes up with a huge list of unsatisfied dependencies. The latter disappears somewhere on my 70GB disk, haven't found it yet. So then I try to download the svn source: svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer Nothing happens. Yes, I have all the svn modules installed, but it just hangs. OK, now try for a tar ball. First check the repository: http://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk/ nothing visible there. So then I try a bz2 source archive: All kinds of googling, no joy, but FINALLY I find http://linux.justinhartman.com/FFmpeg,_FFmpeg-PHP,_Lame,_Libogg,_Libvorbis,_FLVtool2,_Mplayer,_Mencoder,_AMR_Installation#Download_all_the_files_needed What a joy. But alas subversion fails again. A work in progress. We need to do a lot better. _______________________________________________ MPlayer-users mailing list MPlayer-users@xxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/mplayer-users
