[pc3]

If you want to add mplayer to a hard disk installed knoppix, you can use the packages from "deb http://marillat.free.fr/ stable main" using apt-get/dselect/aptitude etc. There are packages for i386, i686, k6, k7 so do a "apt-cache search mplayer" to pick which packages to install. Of course you could either install from source :-)

You want the line to have testing or unstable in it otherwise apt will try to downgrade the install, the lines:


## Various Multimedia Helper Apps ##
deb http://marillat.free.fr/ testing main
deb http://marillat.free.fr/ unstable main



This would be added into in the file /etc/apt/sources.list if it is not already there if it is there you should just be able to install.

at kano.mipooh.net there is a install script for mplayer.

1st step would be the codecs-script
2nd the mplayer script
3rd the kmplayer script

why not make things easy

I like this approach, except for the fact that mplayer will not be updated when apt-get upgrade. It is easy though.

Hi All,

I have even used the script at
kano.mipooh.net to install and
run mplayer from the live
CD. I found that gmplayer
worked well and did not
figure out the advantage of
kmplayer. Just enter
gmplayer form a shell to
bring it up.

Athough my system is on the weak
side -- it played 1/2 screen
DVD very well.

Best Wishes,
paradocs

Hi,

I tried with these scripts of kanotix but when installing kmplayer, I get:

checking for libjpeg... -ljpeg
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.1 (20021021)) (library qt-mt) not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
Make sure that you have compiled Qt with thread support!
make: *** [config.status] Error 1


How can I install Qt? I tried an apt-get install but I got

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mplayer-386: Depends: libxv1 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution)

Have you tried downloading 1.0-pre3 and create a debian package from it?
It worked without any hassle for me. In fact, it's the usual way now for me of adding software non existant in Debian to my constantly-remastered Knoppix.
