Try Mplayer

http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/dload.html

which will compile on Solaris. It's very good, especially if you also install the plugins.

Alternatively try xine

http://xinehq.de/index.php/home which is excellent too, and you've a great choice of guis

You'll probably have to build from source though. If you're open Solaris on x86 then use MPlayer v1.0pre7 source

or http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/x...b-1.0.1.tar.gz and some gui frontend

The READMEs are very descriptive anyhow

also can play mp3 songs???

vmlinuz101 · 06-23-2005, 06:41 AM

yes. there are hundreds of plugins for support for all sorts of media codecs like mp3, mpge video, ogg-vorbis, wma, wmv, avi, rma (real media audio), etc

perfect_circle · 06-23-2005, 06:43 AM

yeah, both (mplayer and xine) can play mp3

okay,i am trying now.
but i am in the trouble about how to bulid or make the software sources code.

what is the compile command???

do me a favour ,please tell me again.

sorry to bother you ,my dear frieds.such simple questions to ask you....

please forgive me.

In most cases all you have to do after you uncompress the source is to:

Code:

./configure
make
make install

In mplayer you may need put the codecs in a directory and specify the directory in the ./configure command and also add some options like enabling gui.
Read the README and INSTALL files that the package contains and do a

Code:

./configure --help

to see all the available options.

leafleaves · 06-23-2005, 07:46 AM

jlliagre · 06-23-2005, 08:05 AM

If you want to play movies quickly, don't try to compile yourself, download instead an already packaged version of (g)mplayer and xine from blastwave.org or another sun freeware site.

leafleaves · 06-23-2005, 08:12 AM

oh, could you give the detail website link ,like

this time,
now,
i have downloaded the tar.bz2 package :
MPlayer-1.0pre7.tar.bz2

,but i cant unzip the package .
i use the command :

tar zxvf filename.
but it doesn't work.

how should i do???

perfect_circle · 06-23-2005, 08:46 AM

its a bzip2 not a gzip
SO you should use:
tar xvjf <filename>

leafleaves · 06-23-2005, 08:47 AM

please give me some advice,,
tell the tar.bz2 zip files uncode command....
