mplayer not found after 1.9 update

[hitechnology]

I built a home built vortexbox using the 1.8 version. I installed mplayer using "yum install mplayer" for Sirius Radio. All worked well until 1.9 update. Sirius still works but on the command line screen i see...

*

mplayer: could not connect to socket

mplayer: no such file or directory

*

Any ideas?

Thanks

If you are playing Sirius through VortexBox Player, and it's working, then mplayer is on your system and running. *You wouldn't be able to play Sirius Radio through VortexBox Player without it.

If Sirius is working properly, I wouldn't worry about the mplayer error messages. *You can check to see what version of mplayer is installed on your VB by

rpm -q mplayer

On an up-to-date system, you should get

mplayer-1.0-82_snap20110414.fc14.i686

If you're not running this version, upgrade your VB using the VB GUI "Start Upgrade" button, then reboot.

There are two Sirius plugins available in SBS: the official Logitech plugin, and the 3rd-party "(Not so) Sirius Internet Radio" plugin (which appears under Internet Radio on the SBS webpage, if you have the plugin enabled). You could try the other plugin to see if it makes any difference.
