Hello, <br><br>I've installed mplayer but it appears to be buggy, or maybe its learning curve is a little too much :-(<br><br>Here is the problem - I wanted to play a rmvb file, and first receive this:<br><br>Failed to open /dev/rtc: Permission denied (it should be readable by the user.)
<br><br>question: what's /dev/rtc? how can a normal user have the access to it?<br><br>Ok, I su-ed to be root, the permission issue is gone, the video clip went on for about 20 sec, then came this:<br><br>debian:/home/hai# mplayer Entertainments/pulp_fiction.rmvb

<br>- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.<br> It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your<br> gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read<br> DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
<br> won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.<br><br><br><br>Any suggestions? Or do I really have to re-install it as it hints?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Hai<br>
