Media player problem
 

I noticed a problem, that I cannot play anything on my N900 :( Few days ago I could, now it does not play when it should. Nothing happens, when I try to change volume it says "Unable to perform operation"

In last days I installed and unistalled few programs:
external subtitles support
fm boost (still installed)
fm rds notify (still installed)
appwatch (still installed)
powatool (still installed)

and some more, which I do not remember.

Internet radio is not working, music player, video player :( nothing works, did reboot many times, nothing helps.

Any idea?
Thank you

establish internet connection (best over wifi).

open x-term and type

"sudo gainroot"
(you need "rootsh" for this command)
then
"apt-get -f install"

after these two commands try again.

Nothing new installed, updated,...

No difference for media player

Re: Media player problem
 

hm... try "apt-get check"

Re: Media player problem
 

done, done

Still not playing anything.

Re: Media player problem
 

which firmware are you running? PR1.1?

mhm... some lines i always run to keep my system clean are:
"apt-get autoclean" and "apt-get autoremove".
don't think that they will change anything on your situation but your problem is kind of weird... so why not try it? ^^

Re: Media player problem
 

Yep 1.1. I did both, no change made to media player.

Re: Media player problem
 

maybe you try to install the "extended a/v format support" (it's "erweiterte a/v formatunterstützung" in german, formerly known as "extra decoders support" i think)

Re: Media player problem
 

I have it installed for long time already. It was working after installing extra decoders support.

Re: Media player problem
 

then uninstall this package and the subtitles package too.
afterwards try again. (maybe reboot)

if it still doesn't work install only the decoders support.
then try again... again. ^^
