media player woes

have installed to the same partition three times, two times the media player
took, the third, it doesnt come up, is this a known bug?

No, I have never seen the media player not “come up”. Could you
please start it at the command line by typing “phplay” and
post the command line print outs. Does this happen
when you are root?

I will follow this daily.

Hmm, the only thing a newbe like me can say is that i have the same
problem, but worse.

I installed the 25MB qnxrtp.exe package for twice, but phplay refuses
to work.

This really looks like a driver issue. I bet this would all go away
if you picked up a cheap Ensonique AudioPCI card from Creative Labs.
I will look into this further, but Audio Drivers is another team from
multimedia apps/components.

I have the same problem :

  • Media Player doesn’t come up
  • Real Player does but hangs as soon as I open a file or location.

Since other people reported problems with SoundBlaster, here are details
about my installation and the output of some commands I’ve tried.

CPU : AMD k6-2 500 Mhz
MBD : ASUS P5A-B
Ram : 128 MB PC 100
Soundcard : SoundBlaster 16 vibra ISA PnP, IRQ : 5, I/O: 0x220, MPU:
0x300, DMA : 1,3
(This is the low cost Vibra, which uses 2 low DMAs. The good ones are
not available anymore. But this one works fine on the same machine under
Windows, Linux, BSD, BeOS, OS/2, SCO, etc. It has been identified by QNX
with the correct settings too)

QNX is installed on its own partition (800 MB)
df reports 32 % used
a swap file is generated at startup, size : 134217728 bytes

That should be enough, I guess.

The mixer is working. Moving the master volume up results in a louder
chhhhhh out of the speakers.
The mixer menu has 2 items :
Sound Blaster 16 CTL1745
and Share - Sound Blaster 16 - share mixer
Only the first one expands to a configuration pannel. The second one
does nothing.


cmdline : phplay
output  : Memory fault (core dumped)

cmdline : playAudioCd /fs/cd1

cmdline : plaympegaudio_noph /tmp/test.mp3

Loaded DLL 0x0804e6e8 'mpegaudio-pic.so'
MvInit() succeded
Then    : nothing untill I pressed CTRL-C (I may not have waited long
enough but I guess so)

  • I don’t remember if the module names are written with hyphen or
    underscore. I don’t have QNX running right now and I cannot read my
    handwriting anymore.
  • Anyway none sound comes out !

Hope we can fix this problem

And I will find out why phplay would exit in this case. Really, phplay
should just pop up an error dialog saying I can’t get to the audio driver.

But I would have other problems with some other OS installed on that
machine.
