I noticed this yesterday evening as well. I prefer if we can fix it from the
mplayer build, rather than change the default config file. It's probably some
special support we are missing somehow. Care to look into it?
A quick look reveals the following when running mplayer from the command line:
The flip-hebrew option can't used in a config file.
Error parsing option flip-hebrew=no at line 120
... which seems to indicate that it's not a valid option. Potentially it's
not valid at all any more. Otherwise, there's a reference above the
flip-hebrew option in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf which references FriBidi's
treatment of ISO-8859* subtitles so this error is probably something to do
with the fact that mplayer was not compiled with fribidi support and/or
there is no fribidi package available from RPMforge for RHEL6 at this time
upon which mplayer can be set to depend.
That's about the limit of my analysis without spending more than five
minutes looking. Sorry.
line in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf. Additionally, the mplayerplug-in RPM
doesn't appear to exist as yet for RHEL6. Without this, totem takes over
most of the multimedia plugin duties for things like QuickTime movies and
therefore means that Apple's trailer site doesn't work (even with the User
Agent Switcher plugin for Firefox). At least it doesn't for me.
mplayerplug-in doesn't build anymore on RHEL6. But wasn't the mplayerplug-in
project replaced by a newer project ? I looked at it once, but it couldn't be
compiled on RHEL5. However I cannot find the info on the website.
I'm afraid I have no information on this at the moment. I'll look into it.
Can anyone mention if they've got places like Apple's QuickTime trailers
site working with RHEL6 and Firefox, please. And what packages they had
installed to do so. I've found that if that place works, pretty much
everywhere else will too.
Thanks,
Ben
