Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Fixed, packaged and ready to use. On the Apple trailers site watch the smallest trailers possible (320x152 i think), the standard ones also work.

Changes from upstream:

* Fixed random QT rewinds sent to Maemo mplayer.
* Menu is shown on double click.
* Removed some options (codec enabling, you can do it from the conf file) from the config window since they won't fit.
* Added some Maemo specific video out and audio out options. Removed unneeded.

Known problems:
Don't open movies with too high resolution. Or have killall mplayer handy. :)

The deb:

The needed lib (you already have it if you installed xkbd):
http://repository.maemo.org/pool/chi...sso1_armel.deb
Install the lib in red pill mode.

Allow me to be the first to say: holy crap.

Downloading!

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

invalid gzip magic? help me out. How do i get this extracted

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

xterm
tar zxvf mplayerplug-in.tar.bz2
tar: invalid gzip magic

?

bad download? ls -l for the tarball is 1024077. Is it about right?

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

I am getting that same error as well, and i am getting 1024077 as well

I did some googling and it seams that the error message occurs when the tarball is corrupt

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

Downladed it and extracted fine.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

can you post the exact commands you use to extract and install?

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

For .tar.bz2, the command is "tar jxvf" and not "tar zxvf".

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

For the tar on n800, which doesn't support -j option - do it with two steps:

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

tar: invalid option -- j
?

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

-sh: bunzip2: not found
?

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

apt-get install bzip2? :)

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

bunzip2 is not a recognized command. I tried installing gnutar but to no avail.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

i installed bzip2 - nothing.

I dont understand. It may say that I am a "Senior Member" of this forum but I am still learning linux...so Im still a newb LOL

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

apt-get: dependency missing...
install from gronmayer.com, still having problem. I got a bzip2.gz from some place. how do i install it? maybe tar zxvf first to get a .deb? TIA,

bun

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

which dependancy?

It should be in Maemo Extras...

http://repository.maemo.org/extras/p....3-1_armel.deb

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

Make sure you have your Maemo Extras repository enabled.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

Bundyo..did you extract this to your root filesystem or to a MMC?

Also did you do this as root?

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

@mooler: Look at the first post -

~ = /home/user/

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

ok i just extracted it with Universal Extractor for Windows. I ssh'd them to ./mozilla/plugins and the config file to ./mplayer.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

okay, you should make the *.so files executable

something like chmod 0755 *.so in the folder.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

done. is there a test link available

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

I tried with http://apple.com/trailers , but it should work with any non-flash embedded video.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

Installed fine (unzipped - thanks to Bundyo, moved config to ~/.mplayer, all other files to ~/.mozilla/plugins/, then chmod 777 for all under root), but still no result - pages like this show large block with an empty file icon and, if clicked, the message "file format not supported". Was something wrong in my actions?

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

No, it should work... I'll make a gz archive later, guess it will be easier.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

I had to install libxpm4 to get them to load. Try starting microb from terminal (browser) and watch the output...
The plugins work great - are there any tweaks one can do in the config file?

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

In fact - yes :)

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

Thanks anders_gud, installing libpxm4 worked.)
Unfortunately, as Apple trailers site uses more and more h.264 now, mostly plugin hangs or renders some scratchy noise without picture. it's the issue of mplayer itself, i suppose.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

Updated the first post with a tar.gz archive link.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

Great job! It has some issues with Apple's trailer (could be mplayer limitation) but I was able to use the plugin to listen to some hockey on nhl.com.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

i must be doing something wrong. I still cant get this thing to work. I extracted the tar.gz. I've chmod 0755-0777. I've moved the config file to /.mplayer. I have installed libxpm4


I rebooted and I now get the mplayer plugin.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

Any chance to see the source code ? I'm asking because I'd like to attempt a recompile for OS2007HE.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

Hmm! Closing the mplayer window a second time crashes microb. Strange...

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

No problem, i changed only two files (and three rows :)

The bigger problem was to get it find its includes, at the end i was forced to copy them all in one folder.

I'll pack everything tonight and get it on mediafire.

IS this second time issue reproducible every time? Link to a movie?

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

The plugin installed fine. Seems to be running, but all movies I try are 'jumpy', startt and stop. I mean things from here http://apple.com/trailers. Can you post some links to particular videos that are nice on your N800?

Has anybody able to "optimize" the config file to make the streaming better than the default? Bundyo, please?


bun

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

I built a deb and tried some configs in the morning, mostly with no luck. I succeded to normally play an apple trailer from their site, but the playback was choppy or without sound at best. I'll try to release it today with the best default settings. Also added some hardware buttons support and the config dialog on double click (shortened it a bit, since it doesn't fit in the window :)

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

I got both audio and video in all the four sites i listed. Especially veoh.com, it is similar to stage6.com, one can select music video, internetTV (?, have not tried yet), youtube similar stuff. Cant seem to get any trailer working from the apple site. Although the mplayer worked alright in the above sites, they need some 'refinement'. Thanks Bundyo, another contribution to the community after the 770 Skype hack! Salute!
