I have (finally) gotten mplayer and kino2 working, but I can only seem to play vanilla mpeg files...even though I downloaded the codec pack from mplayerhq.hu (was this a good or bad idea)? When I try to play a wmv file, it complains about the codec (wmv9mod something something) What should i do?

That was my suspicion too...but everyone else seems to be able to play movies fine, I extensively searched the forums before asking this. I would like to know where everyone else is getting their codecs!

Mplayer plays most of its files through the ffmpeg library, which is normally built with it.
WMV9, however, requires a Windows-only codec DLL. You won't be able to get that to work on your ARM processor without using qemu, bochs, or the like. |
