PM123's Troubleshooting

  1. The player says that no matching decoder plug-in is available when playing files without standard extensions.

    By default PM123 tries decoders only if either the file extension is known to work with this decoder or the file type is listed in the file type list of the matching decoder plug-in in the configuration dialog.

  2. The player skips and/or the audio doesn't sound right!

    There might be multiple reasons if you encounter this problem. Some of them are listed here. First of all, check your MP3 file. It may be broken. It might play succesfully on another player, but mpg123 may not necessarily like it. If you think it's not related to the input stream, maybe the problem is one of these:

  3. The player crashes on startup.

  4. My mouse cursor is jerky or jumpy!
