did you compile mplayer from source?
No - it was a Debian compiled version downloaded via apt
did you download the codecs you want? ie: qt, real audio, mediaplayer, etc
I realised I had omitted the Win32 ones - I had thought they may be for Win installs but
twigged they may be for MediaPlayer.
I downloaded and extracted them with the others into /home/adam/.mplayer/codecs
I've downloaded all codecs I'm aware are necessary from both places
('all in one' and 'more binary codecs') on the mplayer home page.I generally download all the codecs extract them to /usr/lib/win32
extract the source of mplayer
../configure --enable-gui --prefix=/usr (This is so I overwrite mplayer)
configure will come back telling me what codecs I will be allowed to play
then run make, make install
also LMLM4 is a codec
Since downloading the Win32 ones, I've tried again but still get the same message.
Where does one find the LMLM4 codec ?
