Hi.
I gbot mplayer and all appropriate stuff, followed the installation
instructions posted here, but when I try to play an .asx file, I get the
following error, ok, so the file I used was a .mid this time, but it's
still the same, and it meant I could capture the output. I should say
that mp3s etc all play fine, it just seems to be .asx files and streams.
Cheers.

Hi Toby. Those files are actually playlist files, which refer to asf files which contain the actual video content. Similar to .ram and .rm. Have you tried playing asf files? Also, have you tried multiple urls for the asx streams?

Hi Toby,
I get an identical error when trying to dump audio from an asf
file, although it plays the audio from asf fine if I am not
trying to capture it. And it also plays and captures mpg and mpeg
files okay too. I would be interested to know if you solve this
one. Apparently it needs those font description files for some
purposes and not for others.

Hi Chuck, ok, do you think I need some switch to explicitly tell it to
just try to play audio, not video, despite the fact I'm using vo=null?
Also, where do you think I could get these font files from? Do you think
I might need to install X and compile with that, oh I really, really
really hope not.
Cheers.

No. Just entering "mplayer filename.asf" on my system plays the
audio stream fine. But if I run "mplayer -dumpaudio filename.asf"
I get the errors you describe. No switches necessary to just hear
the audio on my system.

I have no idea where to get those font.desc files from. They are
not included with any of the components of the mplayer package
that I have here.
As for installing "X", I have installed X on this system, but it
is not running when I run mplayer. It is not that hard to install
actually, and some applications seem to be more comfortable if
they can find the X libraries. If you have the disk space I would
recommend installing X just for insurance.
Back to mplayer - my config file contains "vo=null" and "ao=oss"
and that is all. And I can play mpg and mpeg files okay, and also
dump their audio okay too. The resulting audio files are mp3. I
have not yet experimented with .avi or other movie formats. The
experimental .asf files I have managed to download are certainly
not playlists, but full fledged native movies with sound track,
video track, and subtitles in multiple languages as far as I can
tell.

Hi Chuck. Did you compile X from source or was it a binary distro? Because I was thinking on getting X and then using a xterm to start mplayer so I could play divx on this box.

Hi Igor -
I installed the X binary distribution that was included with my
Slackware 8.0 distribution.

Igor.
You dont need X to play divx'es with mplayer. Unless you want videooutput
ofcourse. If you're only after the sound, as I would guess most of the
poeple on this list want. You dont need X. I had some discussion with
someone on this list who wanted video before too, and for that you need X,
and since X isnt really accessible, it became a pain, and we dropped it.

I'm trying to lighten Janina and Bill's loads by throwing this out to the list.
I got "mplayer" during the post installation coaching from Janina and Bill, so I could listen to richard Stallman's speeches.
I'm so new I'm thoroughly clueless on how to listen to streams, but from our University of West Florida radio station, a friend--who's actually pretty MAC-oriented,
as are most round there,but they've been coerced into using PC's--Windows of course, but have heard of Linux. I tried using Lynx to get to the web site, and
click on the "on the air" button to no avail, couldn't even locate it. So, wrote him and he gave me the following:
"mplayer mms://helix1.argo.uwf.edu/wm/wuwf1.wma" address, the command idea was mine, and Janina says it worked for her. However, there are all these
complaints which I can't memorize, and the computer is in a different room entirely--although I could transcribe it on the Braille Note and bring it here and
transcribe it yet again... (grin) However, I think Janina had something when she reminded me that mplayer doesn't come with the codecs for playing Windows
Media stuff. So how and where do I get these "codecs"? If Janina played the thing from my line, the're out there somewhere, but somehow I can't imagine
"yum" taking care of it? So, how does one find all the building blocks for Linux?
