Slackware MPlayer Setup
I’ve updated the MPlayer Installer and uploaded it.
Instructions:
1. Download The MPlayer Installer that I made (Right click Save Link As).
2. Change to root user and run the MPlayer Installer OR run the MPlayer Installer with sudo as followed:
bash-3.1$ su root Password: bash-3.1# sh mplayer_setup.sh |
OR
sudo sh mplayer_setup.sh |
Changes to this version:
mplayer-1.0rc1try3-i486-2kjz.tgz is now being used as mplayer-1.0rc1-i486-1goa.tgz is no longer available.
Instead of using the essential codecs pack I am now using the all-20071007.tar.bz2 package. This includes so many more codecs. Even apple.com trailers work for me now.
A bunch of dependencies / libraries are now being downloaded and installed here is the list:
a52dec-0.7.4-i486-1kjz.tgz libmpcdec-1.2.6-i486-1gds.tgz libmpeg3-1.7-i486-1gds.tgz avifile-20071003-i486-1gds.tgz mpeg2dec-0.4.1-i486-1gds.tgz faac-1.25-i486-1gds.tgz faad2-2.6.1-i486-1wim.tgz speex-1.2beta2-i486-1kjz.tgz ffmpeg-20070622-i486-1kjz.tgz twolame-0.3.10-i486-1kjz.tgz jack-0.103.0-i486-1kjz.tgz x264-20070722-i686-1mfb.tgz lame-3.97-i486-1kjz.tgz xmms-1.2.11-i486-1McD.tgz libdv-1.0.0-i486-1gds.tgz xvidcore-1.1.3-i486-1kjz.tgz mplayerplug-in-3.45-i486-1kjz.tgz libdc1394-1.2.2-i486-1gds.tgz |
Notes:
The following error is caused because samba is not installed:
mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libsmbclient.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory |
If you run into any other problems, as always you can e-mail me (owen @ thelinuxblog.com) for help.
Because of all the changes the line by line breakdown of the installer from: Slackware 12 – MPlayer Setup in 3 Easy Steps post is no longer accurate.
