Beyond the Sky

In order to support wma media format, plugin is needed.

As usual i try to find it using apt-get, even i found a source for it, but it can't be install due to some silly error which i do not understand what is that.

So i decided to compile the source code. to compile xmms plugin ,you need to install xmms-dev

apt-get install xmms-dev

Then search for the xmms-wma source code, i found at this page http://mcmcc.bat.ru/xmms-wma/

The compilation shows bellow:

sudo su -
  ##put in your password
cd /usr/src 
wget http://mcmcc.bat.ru/xmms-wma/xmms-wma-1.0.5.tar.bz2
tar -xjvf xmms-wma-1.0.5.tar.bz2
cd xmms-wma-1.0.5
make
make install

The plugin file while had compiled is actually "libwma.so"

At the period of searching xmms wma support, I discover a new media player for linux "bmp"

apt-get install beep-media-player

and i copy the "libwma.so" to /home/<userusername>/.bmp/Plugins

Now i have two media player xmms and bmp
