Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1) Installed from: Mandrake RPMs just as kplayer is a frontend for mplayer on kde, would it be possible to make noatun use the codecs avaiable for mplayer if avaiable on computer so as to make make noatun more of a audiomedia player, with it being able to play not just usual .mp3's and .ogg's but also .wma's etc. This is one place i thik kde is lacking, multimedia wise.
That would be difficult because only mplayer can use mplayer's codecs. Therefore, for noatun to be able to play using mplayer's codecs, it would have to run mplayer in the background. Noatun, on the other hand, asks aRts to play the file, so the codecs are in aRts, not in noatun.
valid wishlist
Errr. Should we get rid of this bug instead? :)
What does mplayer what xine doesn't? Also mplayer has no sane API so I doubt this will be easy to do.
I'm closing this one for the following reasons: - No further comments for a long time (no interest anymore?) - we can play most formats using xine and akode - If at all this would be an artsd wishlist item, one has to reopen it as such if he/she really cares
