Which version of mplayer are you running (you can get the info by running mplayer with no options)? Where did you get it from? I am beginning to suspect either: (1) You have an older version of mplayer or (2) Some libraries weren't installed on the system when it was compiled.

I'm pretty sure it has to do with the x86_64-ness of the OP's system. I get a message in xine to the effect that wmv9 is not supported, and it turns out that the Win32 codecs are not compatible with the 64bit OS. I read that it was possible to get it working by "running mplayer in a 32bit chroot jail" but I don't know how significant a task that is. -- David Haggett Linux user since 01/01/2003 Email: david<at>haggett<dot>demon<dot>co<dot>uk

I can see any video in mplayer or kaffeine, but nothing from CNN. There I am told that I should have Windows Media Player 9 or above. My systems is 32 bit Suse 10 and others and I will rather let CNN be than start using what they want. That's for sure. -- Vahis

That's for sure. Strange, clicking "Continue to Video" crashes my Konqueror, but clicking "Remind Me Later" works and the videos will play. However YMMV since my mplayer is from cvs dated Oct. 11, 2005 and my Konqueror is from KDE 3.5 beta 2. Charles -- "Problem solving under linux has never been the circus that it is under AIX."
