http://crunchbanglinux.org – I just installed smplayer and it's not working! I don't seem to recognise the reason, but it might be something in the lines of 'unrecognised mplayer version' or something. Although, mplayer works. from terminal i'm able to run mplayer and watch movies. Suggestions?[Edit]Logs: mplayer - when an avi was played using smplayer:file:///home/sddhrthrt/videos/movies/Sample.avi MPlayer svn r34540 (Debian), built with gcc-4.4.5 (C) 2000-2012 MPlayer Team mplayer: could not connect to socket mplayer: No such file or directory Failed to open LIRC support.

Is there any chance I can load binary codecs on 64bit arch linux ? I have few .dat files that works great under 32bit windows xp, with smplayer (after downloading codecs), but on 64bit Linux, I got twisted image.

I downloaded all binary codecs for win32 here,

And essential elf64 libs here

Both archive was extracted to /usr/lib/codecs

From output of strace, seems /usr/lib/codecs wasn't loaded.

If you like mplayer, you will love SMPlayer and Gnome-Mplayer. Both SMplayer and Gnome-Mplayer are really good MPlayer front-ends and they do work great. SMplayer has long been my favorite multimedia player in Ubuntu and we have even featured SMplayer among the most wanted multimedia apps for Ubuntu.

Just for fun I will put a little how-to on using mplayer/mplayer2 for the first timer. But we will stay minimal, no GUI, just the command line.I guess the app is already familiar to you, maybe you use it already with a graphical frontend like SMplayer or Gnome MPlayer etc. to watch movies. But we will be more interested how to use this little player just from our best friend, the CLI.

I am trying to play a .ra streaming with mplayer from this url:

rtsp://mm6.rai.it/radiofonia/radio3/napoli/battiti/2012/battiti2012_10_04.ra

I use to execute the command mplayer rtsp://url.ra, but now this seems doesn't work

When I attempt to watch a video in mplayer with caca, the output (in xterm) seems to "blink" or "tear".
