Multimedia :: WMA and XMMS

Get mplayer from multimedia and codecpak from system in mydsl i think that will work

Get mplayer from multimedia (not the xfree or plugin) and get codecpak from system and that might do the trick.

Here is an efficient way to get WMA capability for the XMMS package in DSL 3.0.1:

- Boot DSL using the "toram" option (this procedure probably takes 256MB RAM minimum, maybe more). Boot from your CD writer drive, hopefully it is cdrom1 (see mkmydsl below).

- create a directory like /home/dsl/remaster
- create a file myconf.tar.gz in ~/remaster, that contains these directories/files:

home
home/dsl
home/dsl/.xmms
home/dsl/.xmms/Plugins
home/dsl/.xmms/Plugins/Input
home/dsl/.xmms/Plugins/Input/libwma.so

- sudo su
- run mkmydsl (http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/talk/node/113)

The resulting DSL remaster will have wma playing capability.

I used the libwma.so from xmms-wma-1.0.5-1.1.fc3.rf.i386.rpm.
You can extract it with rpm2cpio xmms*|cpio -i -d.
