It's hard to tell from the info you provided. 
Maybe you're trying to call member function 'update' from *static* method playMPEG without explicitly specifying object which is meant to be updated. Something like this?

void *MPEGPlayer::playMPEG(void *)
{
	update(bla, bla, bla); // static method - no implicit this here
}

In this case you must either declare 'update' as a static method or provide an instance to 
which update will be applied.

Anyway this looks like an off-topic to me. Contact me off-list if you please and I will try to help you.
