Postby mailbri » 28 Mar 2009, 20:23

Hello,

I am a totally newbie regarding linux on the ps3. I want to use mplayer to see streaming video on the internet.
as mentioned in the how to install ydl the easy way, i followed every step with succes, also with installing mplayer.
but when i want to start the program I got the following message: enlightement was unable to run the application : gmplayer the application failed to start.

What did i do wrong and how can i fix it?

thanks in advance

Try starting it from a terminal window so you'll see any error messages it generates.

finally got mplayer working, uninstalled everything and installed mplayer incl. kplayer and now it works,but....

when i want to see streaming video at www.uitzendinggemist.nl I get the next error:

could not resolve name for AF_INFT6: cgi.omroep.nl

Do I have to install extra plugins, like quicktime (is that available?)?
