Configure mplayer and xmms in Fedora8 to play music and movies

Suddenly, I tried to set mplayer and xmms so that my Fedora8 could play music and movies. The first is xmms. Before xmms, there was no good mp3 player in Linux, so Peter and MikaelAlm made the winamp as the player. I am too lazy to download the source code and compile it again. Fedora8 provides the function of adding and deleting programs. Select the software starting with xmms In the Add/delete program, and click OK. The system automatically downloads and installs the software. No

Suddenly, I tried to set mplayer and xmms so that my Fedora8 could play music and movies.

The first is xmms. Before xmms, there was no good mp3 player in Linux, so Peter and Mikael Alm made the winamp.

I am too lazy to download the source code and compile it again.

Fedora8 provides the function of adding and deleting programs. Select the software starting with xmms In the Add/delete program, and click OK. The system automatically downloads and installs the software.

Otherwise, the command # sudo yum install xmms in shell seems ineffective, and yum remains to be studied.

It is said that the copyright problem, Red Hat company xmms play mp3 function removed, so I downloaded a xmms-mp3-1.2.10-16.fc5.i386.rpm plug-in RPM package.

Open shell and enter:

# Rpm-ivh xmms-mp3-1.2.10-16.fc5.i386.rpm

After the installation is complete, xmms can play mp3 files, but the font is garbled. The solution is as follows:

1. Open the preference and click Configure mpeg1/2/3 to remove the displayed ID3 tag.

2. select the font option, change the playlist and font of the main window to-sony-*-iso8859-1, -*-gbk-0, select both options.

In this way, the xmms can be used for mp3 files. The sound quality is not as good as static listening. It is better to add the winamp of DFX. It should be that the audio plug-in is not fully installed. I have compiled the audio plug-in by myself, but xmms is too old to test glibc-config. The pkg-config file is usually used in new Linux releases. I tried the following during compilation:

#./Configure -- disable-glibctest

You can skip the glibc check, but still report an error or fail.

Storm audio and video is good, very good and powerful. Although I once treated his old interface as windows media player classic. But now it is better and better.

Mplayer is very powerful and far ahead of storm audio and video, and does not require a graphical interface. When there is a comparison, there is a gap, and it is easy to say, it is really not as good as the storm, but for playing Linux, it is difficult to have fun.
