Hi,

A couple of questions regarding the newer (December 4) RPMs of mplayer:

1. It appears that mplayer-common isn't required by mplayer nor mencoder. Is that intentional? I took me a couple of minutes to find out what happened to the manpages--which I'd consider essential to deciphering mencoder's many options. Also things like /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf are part of mplayer-common, so it seems like it should be a dependency of mplayer and/or mencoder.

2. Once I figure out that I should install mplayer-common, I get the following when using mplayer:

$ mplayer testfile.flv
The fontconfig option can't be used in a config file.
Error parsing option fontconfig=yes at line 123

3. After commenting out line 123, when attempting to encode flash video to MPEG4, I get:

$ mencoder -ofps 30000/1001 -af lavcresample=24000 -vf harddup,crop=320:128:0:56,scale=368:208 -of lavf \ -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts aglobal=1:vglobal=1:vcodec=mpeg4:acodec=libfaac \
   -lavfopts format=psp \
   -noskip -skiplimit 1 -mc 0 \
   testfile.flv \
   -o testfile.mp4

gives MPlayer output, followed by:

==========================================================================
Audio LAVC, couldn't find encoder for codec libfaac.

I verified that I have the "faac" RPM installed from RPMForge.

Did something change with respect to how libfaac is used/linked by mencoder?

thanks,
Greg
