Problem installing mplayer with pulse audio to play music via bluetooth

[SBoet]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to install mplayer with pulse audio in order to play some music via bluetooth headphones that I have already successfully connected with the edison.

I was initially following the correct answer /message/308907# 308907 here and installed mplayer, but couldn't play audio because it doesn't know the pulse audio output.

I then tried the correct answer /thread/75748 here but I cannot install some of the libraries that are mentioned there.

Going through /message/310610# 310610 the correct answer, here are the errors i get:

root@edison:~# opkg install libavahi-client-dev

Unknown package 'libavahi-client-dev'.

Collected errors:

* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package libavahi-client-dev.

root@edison:~# opkg install pulseaudio-dev --force-reinstall --force-overwrite

Hi,

What libraries were you not able to install?

If you are having problems with libavahi why don't you try to install the packages individually?

Try with opkg install libavahi-client3

To download packages individually run wget http://repo.opkg.net/edison/repo/core2-32/%3cpackage_name%3e.ipk http://repo.opkg.net/edison/repo/core2-32/.ipk. This will allow you to download packages from http://repo.opkg.net/edison/repo/core2-32/ Index of /edison/repo/core2-32 .

Some of the errors seem to be related to missing dependencies. Install all dependencies needed and let us know your results.

So I have been looking into this a bit more, looks like the problem is an incorrect (?) dependency in the package jack-dev on the package jack.

(I am using the AlexT_Intel repo)

Installing jack-dev without dependencies seems to completely solve this (see also /message/301089# 301089 this thread):

opkg install libjack

opkg install --nodeps jack-dev

opkg install pulseaudio-dev

worked for me, I now have pulse installed and am currently recompiling mplayer, I will see if my bluetooth headphones work then...

I'm not sure if avahi is even needed for my usecase, I just ignored and installed without it...

Thanks for your help!

Edit: everything works now, marking as correct.

Yes, that's exactly the case, jack package for whatever reason is generated with broken dependencies (even though on the recipe level everything looks ok). There were no reports for anyone having problems with this too much (at least not those that @-mentioned me, anyway ), so I've never bothered to investigate this further.

Thanks for sharing the workaround.
