Hi Tim,
one thing I miss is being able to listen to the bbc, which uses
realplayer..
I've googled, but I can't locate a realplayer or clone for Amd-64;
tried building
the Helixplayer, but that turned out to be a bit more work than I am
willing to
invest at this time.
Totem won't play: apparently, this has problems with the cook codec
So can any one suggest a workable alternative ?
I use Realplayer in chroot to listen to BBC. It work quite well.
Good Luck!
Thanks for the tip.. unfortunately, I get a lot of drops and crackles.. Not
sure what I did wrong
Let's review:
- created chroot; following the ubuntu howto at
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575&page=1&pp=10
(This system is ubuntu based...Somethings were easier to configure that way)
- Downloaded realplayer 10 from the realplayer site: converted the rpm to
deb,installed the deb
- created a symbolic link as specified in the howto above
- started realplayer realplay
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7/listenagain/monday/rams/1930.ram
And listen to a lot of dropouts, and I don't mean the cast ;-(
(Audio system here is alsa based, on a an Acer Aspire 5024 Wlmi. Not sure
what other information is
relevant)
Anybody have any idea ?
TimT.
Grüssle, Tobias
