Been trying to use mplayer from the shell on Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) and LIRC was giving my problems, but I couldn’t find any help with the following mplayer error:
mplayer: could not connect to socket
mplayer: No such file or directory
Failed to open LIRC support. You will not be able to use your remote control.
mplayer: No such file or directory
Failed to open LIRC support. You will not be able to use your remote control.
Well all you need to do to is to disable LIRC support by doing the following:
Edit
sudo vim /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf
And put in the line:
nolirc=yes
And that should sort it out.

Thanks a lot. It solved my problem again.

Of course, I’ve added this to my ~/.mplayer/config ([defaults] section) instead of global one.
