Hi! I know that problem with playing mov files and getting no audio. I got it to, but I don't use mplayer but Kaffeine Plugin and xine. First I thought it was a driver problem, because Kaffeine says that the Audio driver for Qt... is missing. So unfortionaly the same movie I tried works on desktop perfectly. I postet this to the Kaffeine List and got some angry answers who said I got bad luck, the win32 drivers don't work for PPC and so on and that I shouldn't post there. Unfortionally I didn't find a solution, but as xine homepage says that mplayer and xine are closley linked in development I guess its the same Problem.
By the way I tested to download the movie stream, an option which xine offers and to play it on an windows machine ==> result no sound! My guess is that the problem is not the drivers but the streaming somehow. Here's the link I tried! http://www.utv.at/direct.php?id=164 It's a film completly made by me (the video is just a snapshot with a digi cam, the overlayed video effect was programmed by me, the music recorded mixed and cut by me and the guitar is also me ...) It's a pitty this doesn't work and it's a pitty there's no Flash Plugin for PPC or is there one, because if there is it would be good to know! But probably some got a solution! If you get one I'm interested too! Rainer Am Samstag, 12.
