[gentoo-user] mplayer codecs

[Bruno Gola]

Hello guys,

I was trying to play some *.wmv files in mplayer, but it seems i dont
have the proper video codec (it complains about the video only), so,
where should i put the codecs files ? Because i've already downloaded
the codecs that i need... but i dont know where to put... can anyone
help me?

Thanks,

Bruno Gola

It might be easier if you just let Portage manage it:

eix win32codecs
* media-libs/win32codecs
     Available versions:  20050216 *~20050412
     Installed:           20050216
     Homepage:            http://www.mplayerhq.hu/
     Description:         Win32 binary codecs for video and audio
playback support

and then made sure mplayer knew about it:

 emerge -pv mplayer
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre7  -3dfx +3dnow +3dnowext +X

+win32codecs

+xanim -xinerama +xmms +xv +xvid +xvmc 0 kB

Of course, if you emerge mplayer +win32codecs, then you don't have to
emerge the win32codecs package separately (unless you want it in your
world file), as it will then be pulled in as a dependency.

thanks for helping me, but ive already done this, i tried to merge this
codecs package but, it stills not working... and when i try emerge -pv
mplayer it stops at :

[ebuild   R   ] media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre7  -3dfx +3dnow +3dnowext +X
+aac +aalib +alsa (-altivec) -arts -bidi -bl +cdparanoia -cpudetection
-custom-cflags -debug +dga +directfb +divx4linux -doc +dts +dv +dvb +dvd
+dvdread +edl +encode +esd +fbcon +ggi +gif +gtk -i8x0 -ipv6 -jack
-joystick +jpeg +libcaca -lirc -live -lzo +mad +matroska -matrox +mmx
+mmxext -mythtv +nas +nls -nvidia +opengl +oss +png +real +rtc +samba
+sdl +sse +sse2 +svga +tga +theora +truetype +v4l +v4l2 +vorbis

I cant see the:

+win32codecs

+xanim -xinerama +xmms +xv +xvid +xvmc 0 kB


And, when i try to: emerge mplayer +win32codecs it complains:

br ~ # emerge mplayer +win32codecs
Calculating dependencies -
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "+win32codecs".

Do you have anyidea ?

thaks again,

Just a quick question, is there a way to get win32codecs to work
correctly on amd64?

The correct way would be to

# echo 'media-video/mplayer win32codecs' >>/etc/portage/package.use

(this will enable the USE flag for all compiles of mplayer, now and in
the future)

The much less correct way would be to

# USE="win32codecs" emerge mplayer

(this will compile mplayer with the USE flag set just for this compile,
but if you upgrade, Portage will not remember the setting, and will
upgrade without the flag)

You can also simply

# emerge win32codecs

which will install the codecs, but it will also put the package in your
world file, which you may not want, and will also not tell mplayer about
it (because mplayer was compiled without support for the codecs)-- you
would still need to re-emerge mplayer with the win32codecs USE flag enabled.

What version of mplayer are you emerging? Perhaps the last stable
(1.0_pre6-r4) doesn't support that USE flag, and you have to unmask an
unstable version?

Hope this helps
Holly

Thanks so much Holly, now with the USE flag it works... thanks again ;)

Here there is the guide: I used it and now I can use the win32codecs!
There is the mplayer plugin too.

My solution was to emerge mplayer with the xv and win32codecs USE
flags set (among others), then set the default video output to xv in
mplayer.conf.
