help! installed players not working

[jupart]

i have installed the RPM packages for real player, mplayer and VLC player. but the players are not working. when i try to launch by clicking on the launcher, nothing happens.

trying to launch from the terminal gives the following errors:

charlie@localhost ~]$ realplay
/usr/local/RealPlayer/realplay.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[charlie@localhost ~]$ mplayer
mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libdts.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[charlie@localhost ~]$ wxvlc
wxvlc: error while loading shared libraries: libdvbpsi.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


what can i do now? please help. thank you.

Since you installed using rpm I think some dependencies weren't installed.
Trying installing the missing files.
yum install libstdc++.so.5
yum install libdts.so.0
yum install libdvbpsi.so.4

or something like that

I had a similar problem with mplayer. do u have freshrpms, dries and livna repos enabled ?

if so disable freshrpm and dries. uninstall mplayer. then force install libdca , and install mplayer again.

thanx. i have got real player running by applying the above install.

but VLC still is not running. this happens:

[root@localhost charlie]# yum install libdvbpsi.so.4
Loading "installonlyn" plugin

Nothing to do

[root@localhost charlie]# wxvlc
wxvlc: error while loading shared libraries: libdvbpsi.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


can there be anything else missing?

i am still having problems with vlc

[jupart]

ya i saw the videolan forum but no help. the solution given there is for red hat.

i am using fedora 7.

I have upgraded to F7 and got similar errors. I got those extra package from livna. It does not matter whether they are installed using pirut (after initial installation) or using anaconda (during initial installation + additional repo function), it seems that the package dependency is not correctly resolved, resulting the requested extra package is being installed without its dependencies installed!

I solved my problem by running these commands below.

# rpm -e --nodeps xine xine-lib
# yum install xine xine-lib
# rpm -e --nodeps mplayer-gui mplayerplug-in mplayer
# yum install mplayer-gui mplayerplug-in mplayer
# rpm -e --nodeps mozilla-vlc vlc
# yum install mozilla-vlc vlc

From the output of yum, you can tell there are a lot missing dependencies. I am certain that there are still other dependencies missing in my F7.

redhat and fedora are related. you need to download the similar file for fedora 7 and try installing vlc.

I ended up doing a combination of several items (including some from above) to get my issue resolved. There appears to be a dependency problem with mplayer (and others) on the freshrpms repo. For the record, I also use Livna as a repo and it doesn't have the same issues with these packages. Anyway, add the following line to /etc/yum.repos.d/freshrpms.repo.
exclude=mplay* libdca x264

Now, run the following commands
# rpm -e xine xine-lib xine-lib-moles libdca x264 mplayer-gui mplayerplug-in mplayer mozilla-vlc vlc
Note: you made need to add other packages if they're dependencies, e.g. amarok, mplayer-fonts
# yum install xine xine-lib xine-lib-moles libdca x264 mplayer-gui mplayerplug-in mplayer mozilla-vlc vlc

Hope this helps, Dallas.

It was my understanding from a previous post you were using the freshrpms repo... Maybe there is an issue with the standard fedora repos as well? I would recommend adding the livna repo, removing the rpms (as described above), then re-install using yum (above also); this time the files should be installed from the livna repo instead. I had the exact same issue hours ago on a new Fedora 7 install and following these steps worked for me. -- Dallas

[dallas_h]

Forget about the freshrpms repo... it's not installed on your system. Simply install the livna repo via the command below and then run the "rpm -e" command from above followed by the "yum install" command from above. That should get you taken care of. -- Dallas

rpm -Uvh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-7.rpm

Like dallas_h said, you'll have to install the livna repo. After that, install libdvbpsi using yum or 'Add/Remove software' in your applications menu.

As root:

rpm -Uvh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-7.rpm
yum install libdvbpsi

That should do it.

ya i have done it and everything is now working fine

thanx to all of u, buddies

Right after installation, I updated everything and installed the livna rpm.

Then I went on to select packages via "Add/Remove Software". I selected about 50 or 60, most of which came from livna. Those packages included gnucash, kmod-nvidia, wesnoth, vlc, mplayer etc.. After the installation was complete, I could start none of the above and I got errors regarding missing files or library files. The solution was to remove them and reinstall them via yum which took care of all dependencies.
