mplayeror any other good media player to play media . . .

Hi *,

I am trying to push the use of knoppix by teachers, but I am not being able to play media. Spcially they use a lot npr.org data feeds in classes with adults

Any ideas on how to go?

// __ trying to play

xine Message: - Konqueror

I am trying to play ".smil" files and I am getting:

A problem occurred while loading a library or a decoder: cook.so.6.0

// __
Open a ".wax" file of MIME type "audio/x-ms-wax"

I saved the file that was apparently taken by xine

but then I got an error xine_get_current_frame() failed (with the only option to click on OK no backtrace or notheing else)

However I was able to see from where the data feed was being streamed

mms://wm.npr.na-central.speedera.net/wm.npr.na-central/atc/20051025_atc_01.wma

I can see incremental buffering going on and even some images on the window, but all I can hear are momentabeous random chopped voicings, not complete conversations

// __ I then downloaded and installed mplayer and was able to use it to watch ".avi" types of movies

sh-3.00# mplayer /home/root/landing.avi

// __ but ".wma" npr ones were a no show

sh-3.00# mplayer mms://wm.npr.na-central.speedera.net/wm.npr.na-central/atc/20051025_atc_01.wma
