thanks. Unfortunately, I need to play it on both windows and Mac. So I need something that works a lower level, I was wondering then that I must work with the linux player directly. I am still having problems compiling on cygwin, this is what I last posted:

Does anyone know how can I make it work under cygwin then?

  As far as i know, the splayer example has never worked on windows.

  If you just want to play media files in your applications, you can download my directshow filters from www.illiminable.com/ogg

  Once you install them, media player and any directshow application will be able to play theora, vorbis speex and flac files.

  Simple example code of how to use directshow from your native application can be found here... http://svn.xiph.org/trunk/oggdsf/src/tools/CLOgg/CLOgg.cpp

  (Note the hardcoded filename, you'll have to change that to whatever you want to play) It says it's an audio player, but it will play video too. Very simple to do.

  If you re .net inclined, there is a fully functional media player class here... http://svn.xiph.org/trunk/oggdsf/src/lib/player/libDSPlayDotNET/ That's even easier to use... it will let you load any file, play, pause, seek, stop, get audio and video information, capture video frames to .net bitmap objects, and let you simply embed video windows into your .net forms by passing in the window handle.

  You'll have much more success gtting playback on windows with either of these methods. Remember both require that the directshow filters linked above are installed, however once they are even windows media player will play ogg files.

  Zen.

      Hi! I'm having some trouble with theora in windows, I would really appreciate if you could be able to give me a hand with this.

      First, I was not able to build theora in cygwin, because I built vorbis and ogg perfectly, but when I try to run ./configure with theora it can't find the ogg libs, if I use the --using-ogg-path = ... with /usr/local/lib it runs ok, but then it fails to compile when running make.

      When I tried it on Windows, I use C++ .NET . I tried the .tar.gz on theora's page, I built succesfully the library and then I wanted to build the player for windows but splayer.c was not on the package, I got it somewhere from internet but it didn't work. I mean, I could succesfully build it, but when I run it with a theora ogg file, the SDL screen gets with a lot of colors and I can see a that the window shows an error message that must be closed. I then tried on a MS VC++ 6.0 and the same thing happend.

      For last, I downloaded the latest stuff from svn, and was able to build everything in .NET with no other files, but once I try to use splayer.exe program, the same thing detailed above happen. Am I missing something to do?  Please help me, I've been 3 days with this and I don't know what else to try.
