Hi,

I am trying to play a windows avi on my amd64 suse 9.3 pro box. To no avail. On my 32bit box this required me to install w32codecs but this doesn't seem to work on the 64bit machine. So far I have been unable to find the 64bit equivalent of the w32codecs. How can I get xine to work with these codecs on the 64bit machine?

Thanks! On Friday 03 March 2006 02:39, Tim Janssen wrote: I had to install the 32-bit MPlayer, xine, and firefox. Then the w32codecs all worked fine. Occasionally, i run into, i guess newer microsoft formats

that dont work, like "wma". I run SuSE 10 64bit.

Win32 codec DLL = Windows _32bit_ codec DLL 32bit != 64bit You can't use 32bit-libs with an 64bit-mplayer.

Anyhow, at least for now, I think I'm sticking with the 32bit version of MPlayer since it has no problem with these codecs.

Well clearly, it's 32bit.... Detlef

Thanks you all, for the abundant info on this. I am fine with sticking to 32 bit for now. However, how do I compile Mplayer in 32bit mode? Manu suggested

And change, in the configure, the search order of the libraries :

/usr/lib:/usr/lib64 instead of /usr/lib64:/usr/lib

but I have been unable to find these lines in the CVS version configure file. When I ignore that bit and simply set the flags (as Manu also suggested)

export CFLAGS=-m32 export LDFLAGS=-m32

doing a configure/make results in a mess: wrapper.S: Assembler messages: wrapper.S:25: Error: `pusha' is not supported in 64-bit mode wrapper.S:28: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `push' wrapper.S:32: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `push' wrapper.S:34: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `push' wrapper.S:39: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `push' wrapper.S:40: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `push' wrapper.S:49: Error: `popa' is not supported in 64-bit mode wrapper.S:51: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `pop' wrapper.S:52: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `push' wrapper.S:58: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `push' wrapper.S:59: Error: `pusha' is not supported in 64-bit mode wrapper.S:62: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `push' wrapper.S:66: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `push' wrapper.S:68: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `push' wrapper.S:73: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `push' wrapper.S:74: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `push' wrapper.S:81: Error: `popa' is not supported in 64-bit mode make[1]: *** [wrapper.o] Error 1 Thus: how to compile mplayer as a 32bit application?

mplayer have some problems in 64bit & with the compiler included in the Suse-10.0, you have some solutions :

compile in 32bit mode with the stock compiler compile in 32bit mode with the old gcc compiler compile in 64bit mode with the stock compiler,but with some restrictions, like the windows codes cimpile in 64bit mode with the old gcc compiler, with the same restrictions.

The old gcc compiler gives you more stability when you copy "autorised" pictures... I use the version 3.3.6 of the gcc.

To compile in 32bit mode, you need to declare two variables :

export CFLAGS=-m32 export LDFLAGS=-m32

And change, in the configure, the search order of the libraries :

/usr/lib:/usr/lib64 instead of /usr/lib64:/usr/lib

Enjoy...

I've been trying to build the latest "MPlayer" from CVS as you mentioned. It builds just fine, however, it will not use the Win32Codecs. I've tried the following "configure" lines without any success. It will play some files fine, but "NOT" wmv9 formats.

1 - ./configure --enable-gui

2 - ./configure --enable-gui --with-codecsdir=/usr/local/lib/codecs

3 - ./configure --enable-gui --with-codecsdir=/usr/local/lib/codecs --with-win32libdir=/usr/local/lib/codecs

The first two actually "make" successfully but the last one fails to "make" at all - wine/*.c compile errors. In all three cases i get the message, and in all three cases the /usr/local/lib/codecs directory contained the codecs from the mplayerhq page:

NOTE: Win32 codec DLLs are not supported on your CPU (x86_64) or your operating system (Linux). You may encounter a few files that cannot be played due to missing open source video/audio codec support.

Anyhow, at least for now, I think I'm sticking with the 32bit version of MPlayer since it has no problem with these codecs.

If I missed something obvious with this please let me know. I would love to be able to build mplayer in 64 bit.

I *think* you're fine using the 32-bit version of MPlayer, there are *no* advantages at all to using a 64-bit version of the app in this case, and many disadvantages (codecs not available, for starters). 32-bits apps execute fine under 64-bit SuSE linux, no disadvantages, no inefficiencies, no nothing.
