Cannot install SiB (mPlayer) on n900

Last week I had MPlayer and the visual interface SiB working. I received an update nortification telling me there was a newer version of SiB. I attempted to download the update but it failed, so I uninstalled SiB (thinking a reinstall would fix the problem) but I am unable to install SiB again because of this error message:

Can anyone help? I don't understand what that package is.

Re: Cannot install SiB (mPlayer) on n900

No one will help me? Mplayer is useless to me without SiB, there is no Mplayer shortcut...

Re: Cannot install SiB (mPlayer) on n900

try KMplayer...far better from SIB..

I have KMPLayer too but Mplayer plays a few files KM cannot play

Re: Cannot install SiB (mPlayer) on n900

KMplayer is another GUI for Mplayer and all format that mplayer plays u can see...

Re: Cannot install SiB (mPlayer) on n900

SiB uses QT 4.6.2 which has been locked in order to conserve compatibility with the new upcoming firmware, IIRC. Either use KMPlayer for a while, use the file manager, MC or the CLI until they are done and the package is unlocked.

What's wrong with the default player? Save from some MKVs, it does roughly the same job, assuming you have all the extra deoders in place and up to date. It's not permanent.

Re: Cannot install SiB (mPlayer) on n900

I wasn't aware KMPlayer is another GUI to Mplayer. When I said KMPlayer couldn't play some files Mplayer could play, perhaps I got confused and ment MediaBox Media Centre.

OK, I will use KMPlayer but as for the standard media player, even with the extra codecs installed, it can't play a few of my files where other players can.

Re: Cannot install SiB (mPlayer) on n900

KMPlayer IIRC has a setting on which player to use, maybe you had it set for osso-mplayer, that would explain a few things.

What files are unplayable with the codec pack? It does a good job here. Additionally, maybe the developer of the codec pack could be helped by your experience?

Re: Cannot install SiB (mPlayer) on n900

I cannot tell what codec these AVI files use (no PC/GSpot at the moment )but some won't play in media player (format unsupported) while working fine in other players.

Re: Cannot install SiB (mPlayer) on n900

Have you already updated your phone to the latest firmware?
Once this problem also troubled me,but it became all right after updating to the latest frimware by NSU....

Re: Cannot install SiB (mPlayer) on n900

Maybe you can try:
in KMPLAYER, select Player, choose Mplayer.
and i think it works qiuet well

Re: Cannot install SiB (mPlayer) on n900

I have been trying to watch a .mkv file in mplayer using sib and kmplayer to load the file. The sound works great, however the video renders slowly. Is there a way to configure mplayer to render the video more quickly?

Re: Cannot install SiB (mPlayer) on n900

try to double click D when you are watching

Re: Cannot install SiB (mPlayer) on n900

Thanks for the reply. That speeds it up a little bit, but not enough. Anything else?

and again:

mkv is only the container... what's more important is the content:
1. video-codec, resolution, fps, bitrate
2. audio-codec, sample-rate, bitrate

what are those values in your case?

Re: Cannot install SiB (mPlayer) on n900

I understand that mkv is a container file. the fact that it plays at all leads me to believe it is at least partially supported.

I downloaded some MediaInfo program to figure out that these mkv's are made up of.

Heres what I get for video:

Re: Cannot install SiB (mPlayer) on n900

how about trying to play file from shell with mplayer to see error log?
also you can probably make some files play better with

Code:

lavdopts=skiploopfilter=nonref

in mplayer config or setting it from command line
