OK, thanx

Like I said before anything else than windows and i am pretty much lost. But i´m willing to learn. Yes I have seen your other thread and am following it. Btw where should i post my questions here or in the mlb viewer thread ?

My first problem ( as expected ) was that i can not install the "python-simplejson-0.0.1-1_all.deb" from the first page of your other thread. Downloaded on the n800, but cannot install
Tried using the red pill mode but still could not install. Geuss i´m missing something huh ? I have os2008 installed,and mplayer .27.

Anyway, If you could spare some of your time to explain this installation to some real inexperienced users would be highlly appreciated. I know this is a work in progress and i would definetly wait a while for easy install instructions
Maybe someone else that has mlb viewer working could help me out with instructions ( pretty simple i´m sure) on how to install the above mentioned .deb file

Once again Thnx

Hello, I'm having problems with the mplayer plugin. I followed the instructions on the first post on this thread and everything seemed to go smoothly (no error messages or anything).

So I fire up the browser and go to the test sites mentioned in one of the links from the first post. The problem : the media files don't play. There's a message box where the file should be with the message "Mplayer Plugin. Getting Playlist......" Then nothing. Nothing plays and if i click on it nothing happens. A message comes up in the box "playing...." then "stopped" but nothing plays.

Any idea on what can be wrong?

Edited to make myself more clear.

Can be from the fact that mov files changed again (if you tried with Apple site) or because it was compiled for Chinook.

Works for me fine under Diablo

Hey!

I tried installing this app, but I have some problems with it. I am not able to install libxpm4.

I first tried using App manager in red pill mode and install from file but I get an "Incompatible application package".

I then tried apt-get install libxpm4 in xterm, but I get a different error, saying:

"E:Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock administration directory (var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?"

Can anyone help, please ?

Note that my linux knowledge is very limited.

You have to close app manager first.

Thanks, works now!

ukki asked me to put this one in Extras, so I have done so. It's the latest 3.55 version with Bundyo's fixes and some little fixes done here. It's working in Tear as well as MicroB.

Hi guys.

Please excuse me if I have asked anything that is obvious already. I have had my n800 for only 3 weeks and in that time have almost never left my seat looking up things on this invaluable site. These things can do so much thanks to this community. Anyway I have just installed mplayer plugin in its latest version. Straight from the application manager and it seemed to install fine. I thought it was not working as a site (just.in tv) stopped showing the video so uninstalled it but it left the plug-in entry in the component list so I reinstalled it and then everything worked. God that sounds clear as mud!

Anyway I just can't find an answer after hours of looking through here so may I ask......

Is it normal for the plugin to start getting a playlist or something (eg nasa tv) and then just stop? I am guessing the format is not compatible?

Also when I watch something that requires the plugin (I used apple trailers too after see it as a test site here) is it normal for it to play ok but also save a copy of the file to my sd card? That is what is happening. Oddly the mplayer plugin test site didn't play but just saved the file and then I could play it from there.

Finally........I notice on the plugin listing here under downloads it has a configurable screen? How do I bring that up? I am using the included browser.

Thanks to anyone who can help. I am learning but it takes time. Complete Linux noob.

Probably there are incompatible sites out there, unfortunately Apple is already one of them. It doesn't work even with the Dekstop version of mplayer plug-in, so no luck there
