[smuthustalin]

i've Mplayer. It's working Fine. But the prob., i'm using Mplayer with commends.

I'm Searching a Good GUI Based Dvd Player For Suse 10.1. Any one Refer a goog Gui Based DVD Player.

A Question?

I've Downloaded some Linux Application with .cab extension. How i work with it?

mplayer has a gui front end. are you sure you don't have it i you multi-media menu?

[smuthustalin]

I'm using only terminal comments.. display window only visible. play, pause, menus not visible....

Launch gmplayer to run Mplayer with a GUI. If you downloaded something in a .cab file it is just compressed, .cab is similar to .zip in that it is an archive. I would say if you downloaded something as a .cab it is probably not the Linux version but more likely for Windows.

when i try to set comment like

# gmplayer

I get comment found msg.

Thankz for your info about .cab file extension. I download one soft package, it only availabe in linux version. I download three times past 1 year. All that contain a single .cab extension file.

How did you install mplayer to begin with? Through Yast or smart or a manual install?

[smuthustalin]

installing mannually.....


./configure
make
make install

But i give some comment during installation gmplayer... i think... ./configure ---gmplayer.

I don't know why people insist on trying to compile from source when there are great tools to do it for you.

1) Yast- yes it is slow but it works

2) Smart- faster and a simpler interface.

You can get the complete pre compiled mplayer package from packman

This is how to set things up

Note at the moment the US mirror http://packman.unixheads.com is down but running on a barrowed server with serious bandwidth restrictions. So use

http://packman.sharewarestorage.com

instead or if from non-us area use a mirror near your local.

You can also use other frontends like KPlayer or KMPlayer, Ogle (it's not an mplayer frontend however) is nice too

A relatively new, but good, gui for mplayer is "smplayer". You can get a compiled rpm version for SuSE from guru's site:
