MPlayer wmv support on x86-64
If anyone has been having trouble getting .wmv windows media videos to play with the 64-bit version of mplayer: The only win32codecs rpm I could find puts the codecs in a folder called /usr/lib/win32 .. You need to copy the contents of this folder to a new folder called /usr/lib/win32/lib64 I don't know if this is the CORRECT way to do it, but it works great for me.

Instead of copying things, why not make a symlink from one directory to the other. That way updates and future things will work as well. `ln -s /usr/lib/win32 /usr/lib/win32/lib64` houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html

Hi, but this only works if you use a 32bit version of mplayer (well, a 32bit dll-loader). If you use native 64bit the wine-devel has no support for x86_64 cpu. Or am I wrong? -- mdc
