codecs for Linux

[O-pos]

anonymez, that is what I got from the mailing list:


" You only need dvdnav and a current SVN checkout. DVDnav is nowadays also found in SVN, svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/dvdnav/trunk/libdvdnav2 (is a
smaller version, but works nonetheless). install, compile, and then playback with mplayer dvdnav://1 instead of
mplayer dvd://1 "

They gave me the link svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/dvdnav/trunk/libdvdnav2/ but there is bunch of files and I could find everything else than source code. So I couldn't proceed. Any ideas what should I do?

Well that makes sense, you need to compile mplayer again with dvdnav support. I think libdvdnav is available in the repositories, but it is better to get the latest. Basically, you should do a:

sudo apt-get install libdvdnav-dev

sudo apt-get remove mplayer

svn co svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/dvdnav/trunk/libdvdnav2

and compile/install it.

grab the latest mplayer source from svn and compile/install it. When you ./configure, it should list dvdnav as enabled towards the end of the output. If it doesn't, try a:

./configure --enable-dvdnav

Or something like that, you can check the exact parameters with:

./configure --help

Sounds complicated, but if you've compiled mplayer before (and you have), should take no more than a few minutes. Good luck.

How can I get the source code from svn? How does one do that technically?

Ok, I downloaded, compiled and installed MPlayer-1.0rc1try3 from the svn, was try3 good idea?

You'll want the latest SVN, so run a terminal, type:

svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer

and hit enter, as stated on mplayer's download page. There will be an mplayer folder containing the source in your home directory.
