mplayer just uses TCP and audio so there should be no need for a special kernel. Most common reason for mplayer segfault - using a 3rd party build and your PC does not have all the hardware or CPU support is wrong (e.g. VIA processor). Build your own mplayer - it is very straight forward. - Wrong CPU auto detected - manually build mplayer and tell it to assume no SSE2, SSE3 etc. - don't support any of the special CPU instructions set (e.g. Intel, AMD) variations. > > If I find the time I will try to replace mplayer with vlc (neither have > extremely legible command lines) and report.

Stick with mplayer. Stick with an old release if necessary as newer release (and buggier) mainly add video support which are not necessary for AlienBBC. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65473 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
