Trouble playing asx and wmv files in xine

[Baix]

Hi all,
I'm haveg trouble playing asx and wmv files in xine. I've installed win32codecs and emerged ">=media-libs/xine-lib-1_rc5-r" as a couple of googled sites said to do. Unfortunatly, when playing the asx file I get a message about the playlist being invalid and when I try to play the wmv file I recieve an error:

Hello, do you have the win32codecs USE flag set? How about the xmms flag? I don't think the xmms flag is needed but it is good to have. Here are my use flags that affect my media players.

So would i add win32codecs to my make.conf file and recompile xine with the --newuse option? I'll try that now, someone stop me if I'm wrong . Thanks songpenguin.

Edit: Changed my use flags but 'emerge --newuse world' doesn't show anything as needing to be recompiled. Also 'emerge xine -pv' doesn't show win32codecs as being an option?

Still no luck. Must be something simple though. I added xine and win32codecs to my make.conf and emerged win32codecs then xine. Still this .wmv file is unrecognized .

Ahh, thanks, looks like that's my problem. However even with my use flags set with win32codecs portage still refuses to recognize them when trying to emerge xine-lib:

You really don't want to use the USE="foo' emerge bar syntax

1) add the USE flag to /etc/make.conf

2) emerge -pvuDN world -- to see what packages will be re-compiled because of the change in global USE flag.

3) if xine-lib was already 'installed' it will appear in 2)'s output.

4) if xine-lib is not already installed -- do the following

5) emerge -pvD xine-lib and look at the output, it should show the win32codecs USE flag.

NEVER use USE="foo" emerge bar to emerge a package...

ALSO use -p and -D first. If your need to make changes, add then to either 1) etc/make.conf or 2) /etc/portage/package.keywords or 3) /etc/portage/package.use

My normal sequence is:

emerge -v --sync
emerge -pvuDNt world
emerge --vuDN world
emerge -pv --depclean
emerge -v --deplclean
revdep -pv
revdep -v

If I need to add a new package (not already instlalled) I do the following.

emerge -pvDN <some package name>

first to ensure I understand what's going on, then

emerge -vDN <some package name>

I set:

PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage

in my /etc/make.conf file. After each --sync and world update I 'look' at the log's -- Gentoo prints out a lot of good information and I follow their instructions.

I don't seem to have any problems...
