Hello again, I am sorry not to have declared the patch was for, my big failure. But so the problem was not seen, and it is not solved. (Like declared in the changelog, and i have not the right to be named there)
The point was, if you use fping instead of netselect, the file /var/lib/mplayer/prefs/bestsites looks like ------------------- ftp.free.fr www7.mplayerhq.hu ftp7.mplayerhq.hu ftp2.mplayerhq.hu www2.mplayerhq.hu ------------------- so the 'wget -v -c -N $mainsite/$dir/$filename' points to the false, nonexistent target. (everytime protocol is http://, and the path is without "MPlayer") If netselect is used, all is okay. The bestsites has the same form like the /var/lib/mplayer/prefs/mirrors: ----------------------------------- ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/ http://www7.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer ftp://ftp7.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/ ftp://ftp2.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/ http://www2.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer ----------------------------------- and the 'wget' has correct protocol+target.
