Real Player 10 is available in ports.
The only ports that use win32-codecs are:
multimedia/avifile
multimedia/mplayer
multimedia/mplayerxp
multimedia/xine
multimedia/xmps-win32-plugin
As outputed by:
find /usr/ports -type f -name Makefile -exec fgrep \
'win32-codecs' /dev/null {} \;
I visited MPlayer and Xine websites and they seem to support streaming
(maybe Xine works??).
Good Luck.

Does it crash with the plugin or alone? Does it crash when you are watching a movie (can you watch that movie with another player, for example xine)? If you are using the GTK2 User Interface try using the GTK1 interface (it crashed a lot on my machine).

Read /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer/pkg-message For non TTF fonts you can go into the ports dir as a normal user and: % make install-user It makes warnings about "no font found" or alike in gmplayer go away. If you want to use a TTF font, I guess you have to install one. Perhaps use mkttfdir or what's it called... I never used OSD myself I must say, and usually use kmplayer.

Interesting. I've installed, de- and re-installed mplayer several times. Noprompting. Anyway, I cp'd over a generic ttf file and the error dialog went away. I still see a strange error popup about AF_INET6 and not-being-able-to-connect-to fooo.com, but it seems like a bogus err, because I can see the data flowing over my router.

subbfont.ttf, missing.
I can't figure out how to get mozilla or firefox to play "the writer's almanac" (( any help??)). It plays out of the box on my RH 8.0 box. At any rate, I'm trying to get gmplayer set up with its realaudio codecs, and when I bring up gmplayer, it complains that it is missing ~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf. Anybody know where it is hiding? I've installed mplayer-fonts and didn't find the "*ttf" file in the port//work directory. Of course neither is subfont.ttf in /usr/local/share/mplayer/font*. So: a) can I config gmplayer to play realplay files, pref by script? or b) do I need the ttf file for [g]mplayer? thanks for any clues here, gents, gary PS: (Video: is a dontcare). -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public service Unix ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
