How to run mplayer?
 
Has anyone experience running mplayer on the N900? I installed mplayer and tried to watch movies, but mplayer crashes with the following error:

Quote:
MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: unkown
-MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM Recompile MPlayer with --enable-deug and make 'gdb' backtrace and disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_rash.
-Mplayer crashed. This shouldn't hapen. It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your gcc version. If you think it's MPlayers' fault please read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.
Anyone had the same error? How can I fix it?

how did you try? coz mine is fine, instead loving it than the built-in media player coz of various options its just that one has to give command from x-terminal
.

Player Version is Mplayer SVN-r30099-4.2.1

I tried running it by typing "mplayer moviename.mp4" in the terminal while being in the directory where the movie is stored.

that's the current version all right.
can you try with different file, preferably simple avi?

I just tried with an avi file, as you recommended. I get the same error message. However I noted that i also get this error message, when I mistyped the filename so that the file did not even exist. That's pretty strange isnt it?

i never bothered installing it cos there was no instructions for how to start it!

You type "mplayer filename.extenstion" to run it.

if you don't want to run it in xterm download kmplayer. This will give you a basic graphical frontend

Yeah, just use SiB and don't use the CLI. Makes mplayer very accessible.

It's very straight forward and easy if you have any CLI experience.

Open xterm
use CD to change your directory to where your video is stored
LS to view what's in that directory

To "run" mplayer you simply use mplayer nameofmovie.movieextension.

So if I have umm the movie Gamer on my external memory card I would do;
cd /media/mmc1/Video/ (Becuase I store my video's in a Video directory, you can store them just about anywhere).
mplayer Gamer.m4v

Like others have said though. If you don't want to mess with CLI then just use one of the two GUI front ends. I used KVMPlayer a couple times but I still use CLI myself.

Hope that helps a little more.
