Streaming Audio

In my conversion from windows to Linux, I have been unable to locate a
streaming audio player that will play streams for the wma (Windows Media
Player) format. Canadian public radio (CBC) is available in that format
only. See:

http://www.cbc.ca/listen/

Is there a plugin for FireFox or other Linux program that will do this?

TIA

Hi
The page you refer to shows 'For Unix users' to use mplayer plugin. If
you add the packman source in yast (See
http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_Ya...e_Repositories ) mplayer
and the plugin are available for mozilla (firefox).

The web site above provides the following instruction (after the
download of packman)

To add the External YaST Repositories, open YaST, go to Change Source of
Installation and press Add.

My version of YaSt (Suse 10.1 and gnome) does not have a Change Source
of Installation icon that I can find. If I look at the Installation
Source menu, I can see that packman has been installed. As a result, the
mplayer plugin will not install.

Here is the error I get when I try to install mplayer:

Unresolved dependencies:
Installing mplayerplug-in-3.25-0.pm.5.i586[Local packages]
There are no installable providers of gecko-sdk for
mplayerplug-in-3.25-0.pm.5.i586[Local packages]

Hi
I run 10.0 here... Question is this a 32 or 64bit install?

Can you search for mplayer or mplayer-in? Even if you can get mplayer
installed you can run it from the commandline;

malcolml@oscar:~> mplayer mms://wm05.nm.cbc.ca/cbcr2-toronto

You will probably have to install codecs as well. Have a look at this

This whole thing is start to make my head spin just a tad. Every time I
try to install something there is another dependency missing.

I tried to install gecko-sdk and was told I needed mozilla-xulrunner. I
tried to install mozilla-xulrunner and was told that I needed some other
dependencies.

Is there one package that has everything I need?

Hi
Try the 'smart' package manager this will pickup on any of the
dependencies and install for you.

Nope, but if all necessary sources are added to the installer, it should resolve dependencies on its own. Did you add the Add-On CD/catalog to the installer configuration?

I am only running 10.0 at present.
Is my understanding correct from the above, that 10.1 does *not* have a
'change installation source 'choice'?

You can add packman as an installation source to Yast as well.
Does this answer the question?
