Package: mplayer Version: mplayer 1.0~rc1-11 Severity: serious
I installed mplayer and get the codecs via the script in /usr/share/mplayer/sc ripts/binary_codecs.sh. According to the binary_codecs package provided by mplayer website,after the binary_codecs(essential-amd64-20061203.tar.bz2) installation,only drvc.so is installed.But when try to play a real video,mplayer try to find the drv4.so.6.0 codecs,so only audio decoder is ok but video decoder is failed. The following is part of the log file: ========================================================================== Opening video decoder: [realvid] RealVideo decoder realvideo codec id: 0x40002000 sub-id: 0x01081020 opening shared obj '/usr/lib/codecs/drv4.so.6.0' Error: /usr/lib/codecs/drv4.so.6.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ERROR: Could not open required DirectShow codec drv4.so.6.0. Read the RealVideo section of the DOCS! VDecoder init failed :( Cannot find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x30345652. Read DOCS/HTML/en/codecs.html! ========================================================================== So I have two solution for arch i386: 1.download the rp9codecs-20050115.tar.gz2 and installed it to the codecs dir. 2.make a symbol-link drv4.so.6.0 of drvc.so after the installation of binary_cod ecs via the script. But for any other arch such as amd64,the rp9codecs-2005115.tar.gz is not availab el because this binary codecs is only for i386 arch,so solution 1 is not work for alll the arches in debian. So I suggest the second solution.It works fine in my amd64 box. btw:plese give more instruction in Readme.Debian about the codecs of mplayer,for many people who did not notice the binary_codecs is arch specific often get puzzled when they DID install the rp9codecs at /usr/lib/codesc but the mplayer stil l report "No such file" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
