 Posted: Fri Nov 09, 2007 6:43 pm Post subject: Trouble playing wmv file with mplayer or vlc |
 |
|
I've been trying to play a wmv file, but can't manage it with either mplayer or vlc
There's 3 errors in play here, so bear with me
mplayer was complaining of not having the wmsdmod video codec available
wmsdmod.dll is part of the win32codecs pack, so I added win32codecs to my mplayer USE flags and emerged
| Code: | # emerge mplayer -avt
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Notice how portage still lists the use flag as (-win32codecs). What do the parenthesis mean?
I still get the same error output from mplayer:

When I try to emerge win32codecs separately, it dies with a blocked package error.
I tried emerge --sync and emerge portage, but no difference.

win32codecs is blocked because you're using a 64-bit system, and that package only works with a 32-bit x86 mplayer (the parenthesis means that the use flag is masked).
mplayer can play most wmv/asf files via the internal ffmpeg codecs, but apparently not this one.
I just tried it here and got the same error, and this is the first wmv file I've come across that mplayer couldn't handle in a long time.
The possible solutions are to use the 32-bit mplayer-bin package (presuming you have a multilib install), or set up a 32-bit chroot.

Maybe I'm not setup with multilib, which is why mplayer-bin also complains the same way win32codecs did.

But I built my system from scratch a month ago with the default profile (which has multilib support turned on).
How does one verify multilib / non-multilib support? |

I'm sorry, I didn't actually read the last problem you had closely enough.
The block is caused by virtual/libstdc++ tring to pull in gcc 3.3 by default, when sys-libs/libstdc++-v3-3.3 can be used instead and is not blocked by the emul package, read more about this issue here.
Just `emerge -1 sys-libs/libstdc++-v3` first, and then there shouldn't be any more blockage (and you won't need to compile gcc 3.3 either).

Yes, that corrects the problem.
The wmv-file works with mplayer-bin.
I had to remove the real flag in my /etc/make.conf because realplayer requires you to fetch its sources manually (it's mentioned in `man emerge`)...and I didn't want to go through the trouble  . But that shouldn't be much of a problem since mplayer has real support built in, as discussed in this thread: Mplayer and realmedia
Thank you for all your help Hopeless! |
