Hello. I'm a new ydl user still trying to solve my media woes.
I've managed to compile and install the command line version of mplayer and yum install the gui version with the freshrpm servers but I still can't get video to play. I keep getting a no -vo error. I've tried different options but with no luck. Do I need a video card driver? I'm running a B&W G3 with a 16mb ati card. (Most likely rage) I don't know what I should be looking for.
Xine worked playing movies, but the video was extremely slow. I did a xine test and it recommended me reinstalling the xine-libs which I having not gotten to finding yet. My original install was done by yum-ing the freshrpm servers which handled everything for me.
Also, it seems the new xmms versions have removed MP3 support. Agh! All I want is an iTunes-ish/winamp-ish program that can play mp3s. It'll be a pain in the butt converting EVERYTHING to Ogg. A slow transition is preferable. Though, now I wonder if there is ogg support in RhythmBox/xmms? RhythmBox is the program I would prefer to get working well.
Anyone out there having more luck than I? I'm happy to have at least have fixed my major sound problems.
