Kernel Config: (This is for an AMD AthlonXP 2100+, make changes/adjustments as necessary) options CPU_FASTER_5X86_FPU options CPU_ATHLON_SSE_HACK options CPU_ENABLE_SSE 2. install /usr/ports/x11/nvidia make -DWITH_FREEBSD_AGP install clean kldload nvidia add these lines to /boot/loader.conf: linux_load="YES" (presuming that you've installed 'linux_base') nvidia_load="YES" 3. Download rp8_linux_20_libc6_i386_cs2_rpm from www.real.com (don't forget, GOOGLE is your friend) copy this to /usr/ports/distfiles 4.cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer make WITHOUT_RUNTIME_CPUDETECTION=yes WITH_GUI=yes WITH_FREETYPE=yes WITH_XVID=yes WITH_DVD=yes WITH_SVGALIB=yes WITH_MAD=yes WITH_AALIB=yes WITH_SDL=yes WITH_VORBIS=yes WITH_REALPLAYER=yes WITH_LIVEMEDIA=yes WITH_FAAD=yes WITH_XMMS=yes install clean most of the options above have autodetect flags so if you have some of the above then you can skip it 5. DO NOT RUN MPLAYER yet 6. install fonts #cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer-fonts #make install clean (select 8859-1) 7. configure mplayer for user: as a user (not root) #cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer #make install-user 8. next copy following files to ~/.mplayer #cp /usr/local/share/mplayer/codecs.conf ~/.mplayer/ #cp /usr/local/share/mplayer/example.conf ~/.mplayer/config #cp /usr/local/share/mplayer/input.conf ~/.mplayer 9. FINAL STEPS FOR USER CONFIG #cd ~/.mplayer create directory for skins #mkdir Skin (THIS IS THE NAME OF DIR DONT MAKE ANY OTHER) 10. download mplayer skins from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/dload.html don't use the port, it's got some rather strange bugs in the installer 11. unpack skins to the directory you created ~/.mplayer/Skin you should also download and install the default skin 12. make sure that these lines in ~/.mplayer/config file are uncommented: vo=xv fs=yes comment out the following line at the end of ~/.mplayer/config file: #include = /home/gabucino/.mplayer/i_did_not_RTFM_carefully_enough... 13. Your almost done 14. run #gmplayer you should see your mplayer gui now. extra stuff 15. Install mplayer-plugin for mozilla from /usr/ports/www/mplayer-plugin (can break, ymmv) this will allow you to play quicktime movies from mozilla test for mozilla plugin: http://www.apple.com/trailers/newli..._towers-teaser/ select small from watch it now panel (small loads faster) you should see and hear trailer. There is no plugin for realplayer so *rm files will invoke it as separate instance. Except downloading realplayer to ../.../distfiles you do not need to get or install anything before installing mplayer. Test realplayer alone to see if it works (for me it does). You will be also able to listen WMP streaming files (mozilla should open small extra window - empty), and watch DVD/VCD/SVCD's one more thing: I dont have ANY sound daemons running. The above setup works on Asus A7V333/R with an nVIDIA GeForce4 Ti4600. I dont know if it will work with other hardware combinations, but it should, assuming that you have sound and video working correctly. Good luck, and have fun! Eric
