I assume you don't have something set up right. I just clicked on your link and clicked on the "Listen Live" link and I am listening to the station right now ("Joy to the World" is playing).

Here are the versions of mplayer and mplayerplug-in I am using:

$ rpm -q mplayer mplayerplug-in

Code: Select all

mplayer-1.0-57_rc1.fc6.at
mplayerplug-in-3.31-30.fc6.at

I just copied the mplayer command my browser uses to listen to your station. Download this to your drive and then run it from a shell like this:

Code: Select all

sh ./kzep-live.sh

which should give you output similar to this if it plays:

Code: Select all

$ sh kzep-live.sh

Let me know what your error is. Here is the script:

I suspect you don't have your codecs properly installed.

running the script from command line worked .. this is what i get when i try to play it thur browser

Totem could not play 'mms://uni2.sa.streamaudio.com/KZEP_FM?SAT=ef3fe13e8a7d3c0f73a78aa7606730a3=1167720841919=1188=2007=1=1=22=54=1'.

if i'm reading things correctly something in my config is telling it to use totem instead of mplayer when launched thur browser

Void Main · Post by **Void Main** » Tue Jan 02, 2007 9:25 am

That's strange. Almost sounds like your mplayerplug-in isn't registered. Does it show up when you do an "about:plugins" in your browser location box? I'm not sure where totem would be coming in. I don't even have totem installed because even though it's the default player in Fedora I find it to be the most useless app ever written.

uninstalled totem and it now works like a charm thru browser but think i'll stick with using your script anyway ..thanks much as always .. this is why just tonight i told one of my buddies who is trying linux for first time (ubuntu) to check out this forum for learning.

need help for same problem again .. thsi time the site has changed so the script no longer works I'm up to fc8 on this system ..

as far as my mplayer version i get

[root@d01537 ~]# rpm -q mplayer mplayerplug-in
mplayer-1.0-0.91.20080531svn.lvn8
package mplayerplug-in is not installed
[root@d01537 ~]# yum install mplayerplug-in
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
Package mplayerplug-in is obsoleted by gecko-mediaplayer, trying to install gecko-mediaplayer-0.8.0-1.lvn8.i386 instead
Package gecko-mediaplayer-0.8.0-1.lvn8.i386 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

the error i get from the site when trying from browser is that it does not think i have the plug-in i need

firefox is 3.0.3 and the mplayer plug does NOT show in about:plugins ..

was trying to install the mplayer plugin from
http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/download.php but the INSTALL needs the gecko-sdk and not sure what to grab since the firefox is not the build that FC8 shipped with (FC8 -> Firefox2 I'm using firefox 3)

Can't you install the plugin with yum or apt-get?
mozilla-mplayer should be the package you're looking for.

no go

Just looked on livna.org and found what I looked for on this page.
The package is called mplayerplug-in, so you should be able to

Code: Select all

yum install mplayerplug-in

if the livna repository is enabled on your system.

Edit: I wonder why this very same package is called mozilla-mplayer in the debian repositories, the mozilla web browser doesn't even exist under that name anymore and the whole planet is using firefox, erm sorry iceweasel

Oops, sorry, I just noticed that you already tried to install that package

You say mplayer plugin does not show but apparently that gecko-plugin thing replaces it, sure you have looked for it but you didn't see a gecko-plugin or similar listed in about:plugins did you?

Otherwise, look in your plugins directory to see if it's there, on my system the browsers are all listed under /usr/lib
I have 10 different mplyerplug-ins in my /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins directory
and same for seamonkey.
