[MPlayer-users] Cannot install MPlayer PLEASE HELP

[Paul Morris]

Hello all! I am having some serious problems with mPlayer and streaming all
internet radio stations!!! First and foremost I am running Gutsy. I followed
the installation instructions to the 'T" on the first page of this post (
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=558538) and my first wall that I
hit is when I do ./configure I receive the following

Check "configure.log" if you do not understand why it failed.

I checked the configure.log and I am not familiar enough with the Linux
language yet to fully understand what the issue is. So what I did (out of
frustration) I ignored the error message above and continued on with the
installation. I can get MPlayer to open both from Applications and from
Terminal, the skin works and all. Now I have the MediaConnectivity plug-in
installed for Firefox and it is setup to have gmplayer be the player for all
file types. When I click what should be an internet radio station, lets take
NPR for example I receive the following error:

Failed to open icy-url:http://www.shoutcast.com. When trying to open a
sirius channel, MPlayer opens and I receive a similar error. I installed all
of the codecs per the instructions on page 1.

Prior to this installation attempt I installed MPLayer from Synaptic and I
was still unable to play any internet radio streams, all other forms of
sound work, videos, CD's systems sounds, etc. Except for streaming video and
radio. I am wondering if the issue I am having getting streaming media to
work is related to the same issue I am having with Sipie. If anyone isnt
familiar with Sipie (ignore the last sentence) Sipie works perfectly except
for sound!! This all is very frustrating!! To the point that I am
considering re-imaging my laptop and I really don't want to!! Anyone that
could possibly help it would be greatly appreciated!!!


Thank You,

Paul

*EDIT*
*I ran mplayer from terminal using the command mplayer (stream location) and
this worked. When I ran the command gmplayer (stream location) I still
receive the errors stated above. So I guess this can be a temporary stopgap
but any insight would be appreciated on the issues I am having.*
