I am running the x86_64 version. I am wondering if the 64 bit version has some problems. Cristian Rodriguez wrote:

I had the same problem. I just downloaded and installed the latest MPlayer and w32codecs from the Packman site and now my MPlayer is working again on AMD64 -- Andre Truter | Software Engineer | Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 | AIM: trusoftzaf | http://www.trusoft.za.org ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~

That's because you are running 32-bit apps which gel with the 32-bit codecs. So far no 64-bit codecs exist. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

MPlayer is 64-bit, but the codecs are 32-bit.

And you're saying you can actually play windows media using that combination? May I ask how you managed to set it up?

Yes. I just downloaded the packages from the packman site and installed them. I did not set up anything else. These are the packages that I downloaded and installed: libxine1-gnome-vfs-1.0.1-0.pm.0.x86_64.rpm MPlayer-1.0pre7-pm.2.x86_64.rpm w32codec-all-20050412-0.pm.0.i586.rpm libdvdcss2-1.2.8-0.pm.2.nosrc.rpm libxine1-1.0.1-0.pm.0.x86_64.rpm install_libdvdcss2 I had to hack the install_libdvdcss2 script a little to make it work on x86_64. I just replaced all the 'i586' strings with 'x86_64' in the paths and it worked. I can watch avi files that Totem and xine cannot show. -- Andre Truter | Software Engineer | Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 | AIM: trusoftzaf | http://www.trusoft.za.org ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~

Fair enough, but can you play anything with mplayer that you can't when w32codec-all isn't installed? I have a wmv9 video here that I can play with xine (32bit) and w32codec, but not with mplayer (64bit) with or without w32codec ffmpeg seems to have gotten better at handling other wmv formats, I can play those in mplayer 64 bit even when w32codec isn't installed

I don't know. Before I had w32codec-all installed, MPlayer just segfaulted. -- Andre Truter | Software Engineer | Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 | AIM: trusoftzaf | http://www.trusoft.za.org ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~

You need he 32bit version of mplayer to use thw w32codecs. But you can get (and install) the 32bit version of mplayer on a 64bit machine. I used the packman 32bits for suse 9.2 (as Im on a 9.2 box) without problems.

That is interesting. Mine does not work at all. It seems I am missing a bunch of stuff on the system. It will not let me load it properly. I will have to try to reload the system. By the way, is libdvdcss 32 or 64 bit? Andre Truter wrote:
