[vdr] Re: MPlayer and Codecs

[René Bartsch <rene@bartschnet.de>]

Hi,

MPlayer site ( http://www.mplayerhq.hu ) provides a special
win32dll-codecs-package at
ftp://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/w32codec-0.50.zip !

The dlls have be in the /usr/lib/win32 - directory (you have to create if it
doesn't exist). This must be done before compilíng MPlayer!

You also should install latest DivX - libraries, available at
http://avifile.sourceforge.net/ . This must be done before compilíng
MPlayer!

If you still have trouble, you have to edit codecs.conf - file. See
MPlayer - DOCS.
