mplayer opens in new window in Linux

[Spectrum]

I tried running placeshifter in linux (Ubuntu 9.04 64bit) and whenever I start watching TV or start a video mplayer is opened in a separate window. The only things in the log that look interesting are

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /home/spectrum/tmp/miniclient/libjtux.so: /home/spectrum/tmp/miniclient/libjtux.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 (Possible cause: architecture word width mismatch)

ERROR loading native lib for UI:java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /home/spectrum/tmp/miniclient/libSage.so: /home/spectrum/tmp/miniclient/libSage.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 (Possible cause: architecture word width mismatch)

readelf reports both files are indeed ELF32.
Is this what is causing the problem, and if so, would it be possible to get a version that has been compiled for 64 bit?

It is really quite annoying to have the controls in a separate window that the actual video!

Attached are the miniclient.log and a screenshot of the actual behaviour.

Unfortunately SageTV does not support 64-bit Linux natively. Some people have been able to get it to work with 32-bit compatibility. Search the forums for 64-bit Linux, there's a thread just about that. I haven't done it myself so I can't offer much advice.

Sad that the devs are not embracing 64 bit; Sage will be left out in the cold as that is the way the industry is moving. That aside, I couldn't find anything (yes I searched before I made the original post) regarding *placeshifter* and linux.

Search the forums for 64-bit Linux, there's a thread just about that

If the thread you are referring to is this one that has nothing to do with placeshifter. That entire thread is about running the server in a 64 bit environment. Granted some of the java tricks may work, but it would be nice to know if anyone has had any success with that and placeshifter specifically. I'm not sure how much of the codebase is the same; I was under the impression placeshifter was very different from server/client.

Here's another thread about 64-bit Placeshifter with a couple of suggestions. Maybe this will solve your problem? I'll be interested to know if you get it working. I have a 64-bit installation of Ubuntu I wouldn't mind installing Placeshifter on.
