trplayer in Debian

[Charles Hallenbeck]

When I run trplayer now in the Debian environment, I get the following 
error:

trplayer: error while loading shared libraries: 
libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file 
or directory

apt-get tells me it has no package called libstdc++. Does anyone know 
what library package I should install to resolve this problem?

it seems as though you may need libstdc++6.  But that's just a guess, as the
number would indicate that is the latest version of all the packages starting
with libstdc++.  The problem is that there is no libstdc++.  There are only
a bunch of packages that start with libstdc++ and end with numbers and suffixes
such as dbg (debug) and dev (development).  The highest number is 6, so I guess
that is the latest libstdc++.

Oh.  I almost forgott.  Probably a better choice for RealMedia files is mplayer.

It is available through apt-get by adding

deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ testing main

to your /etc/apt/sources.list.  Or if you have upgraded to unstable, add

deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main

Mplayer will play RealMedia audio and video as well as mp3, ogg, aac and many
other formats.

Use Mplayer, as much as I like trplayer myself, I think it's only a
matter of time before it won't be usable anymore. I know for a fact
it isn't usable anymore under slackware 10.1, and I think I recall
someone else stating the same some time ago as well.

Re: trplayer in Debian

[Charles Hallenbeck]

Lorenzo and Greg,

Thanks for the suggestion. I use mplayer here already, but there are 
still a few sites that trplayer/realplayer handle that mplayer cannot, 
so I often switch from one to the other.

The libstdc++6 thing led down a garden path. It was installed, but did 
not solve the problem. I used another portion of the error message to 
search for another library with a related name, and learned that libc6 
was obsolete and replaced by something else. So I got that too, but 
still no luck.

The fact is, trplayer would benefit from a recompile in this newer 
environment, but doing so requires an infrastructure from Realmedia, and 
I'm not sure I want to go there.

I am inclined to agree with you guys about learning to live without 
trplayer and going with mplayer all the wayh.

And as for apt-get install alsa-utils <blush> I never thought of that!

Thanks

Some sites don't work with mplayer but work with trplayer?  Hmm.  I didn't know
that. {smile}

I think your problem may be that some sites link to >file>.rm, which is invoked
with:

mplayer <file>.rm

whereas others link to <file>.ram, which is invoked with:

mplayer -playlist <file>.ram

If this still doesn't work, try sending me a link and I will see where the
problem is.

Here is one:

I have a few more, although granted, most work well with mplayer.

Charles Hallenbeck's comments on Re: trplayer in Debian were as follows:
# rtsp://rx-lvl3-pa27.rbn.com/farm/*/airam/airam/live/live.rm

Works here.  But the cache in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf is set *way* too high.
It caches a whole megabyte.  Try to change this value to something more
reasonable like 64.  This will cause the link you gave me to load in about 5
seconds.

When I put that URL into Trplayer, I get audio, but it's unintelligible. 
It sounds like some sort of voice scrambling.  Among the various messages 
from Mplayer, are two lines that look intriguing.

Unknown extra header dump: [14] [0] [6] [0] [3] [0] [40] [1] [0] [0]
demux_real: invalid chunksize! (0)

With the second clip, I got the following, after using the "-playlist" 
option.

Connect error : Connection refused
Not a Realmedia rtsp url. Trying standard rtsp protocol.
RTSP support requires the "LIVE.COM Streaming Media" libraries!
Unable to open URL: 
rtsp://stream2.cbc.ca:7085/live/CBC-RadioOne.rm?end="00:30:00"

I wonder if the site is down, or it really isn't a Real Media stream. 
Maybe, I'll try rebuilding Mplayer with the live.com streaming support and 
see if it makes a difference.

Re: trplayer in Debian

[Charles Hallenbeck]

At the moment I don't have a working trplayer, but until myh recent 
upgrade, trplayer with Realplayer 8.0 libraries played that site just 
fine. My mplayer takes forever to load its buffer, about a minute 
actually, and then crashes instead of playing it.

I'm not sure why it is crashing instead of playing, but it takes a minut or more
because it is waiting for a whole MB of data to buffer before it plays.

Edit /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf and find the line that says:

cache = 1024              # Disk cache 1 MB

and change it so that it says:

cache = 64              # Disk cache 64 KB

This will solve the problem of the extremely large buffer.

Since we're on the topic of doing things with trplayer that we can't
get mplayer to do, I used to love to have the ability to play a file
with trplayer, and be able to hit "t", to find out how much time has
elapsed since the beginning. However, since mplayer is so cluttered
and continually updates the display, I haven't been able to figure out
a way to do the same with mplayer. So, does anyone know of a reliable
way of finding out how much time has elapsed when playing a file with
mplayer? Thanks.

Can you give an example?  I'd like to see if it's just a configuration 
issue, or perhaps, a bug in Mplayer.  One thing I learned the hard way is 
that Mplayer doesn't recognize playlists like .m3u, unless you explicitly 
use the "-playlist" option on the command line.  If you use that, it won't 
recognize normal files.  This seems to be a bad idea if you ask me.  It's 
worth noting, though.  another thing is that you have to have installed 
the Real audio codecs in the right place before building Mplayer, assuming 
you build it from source.  I'm not sure how the Debian package is set up, 
but I found that without the Real codecs in the right place, Mplayer won't 
play anything but very old Real Audio files, presumably with its built-in 
decoder.

Re: trplayer in Debian

[Charles Hallenbeck]

Hi Adam,

Here is another one:

http://radio.cbc.ca/stream/aka-radioone28.ram

I have a collection of nearly 200 audio streams and after upgrading 
mplayer to 1.0pre6, I went through the list and attempted to replace 
all my trplayer invocations with mplayer, some with and some without 
the -playlist option, and about 80 or 90 percent of them made the 
swithc okay. But a few stubborn ones would not work. Maybe my codecs 
are not current, not sure how long I have had them there.

It looks as though this stream is unavailable.  The error I get is "connection
refused".  This indicates that the port specified in the URL contained in the
.ram playlist is closed on the server.  Try again later and see if the problem
continues.

Re: trplayer in Debian

Hi.
In Debian, packages are split into two parts.  One containing the lib
and one containing the header files.
For package libxxx, install package libxxx-dev to get the headerfiles
for libxxx.

Hope this helps.

trplayer works better then mplayer and the w32codics package?  I chalange you to
give a site that mplayer will not play.

Re: trplayer in Debian

[Kenny Hitt]

Hi.

Since it isn't maintained any longer, you might want to want to drop
trplayer in favor of mplayer.  It has support for Windows Media as well
as newer versions of Real audio codex.
I'm in the process of changing systems, so I don't have the URL easily
available.  If you can't get it from someone else.

Hope this helps.

You could always do an apt-cache search for it.  You might also try installing
the task c-development.  Use aptitude, go to tasks, go to unrecognized tasks and
last I checked it was the first one that shows up in that menu.
