It seems like there is a problem with the wmv codec. How did you install your win32 codecs and does the problem just happen on other sites or just that particular one.

Download the package called "all" from here and copy the codecs to /usr/lib/win32. Also make sure you have the mplayer, xine or kaffeine plugin (depending on which media player you are using).

a lot of newer programs now look in /usr/lib/codecs instead of /usr/lib/win32. You should create a simlink in this location to prevent conflicts.

Code:

ln -s /usr/lib/win32 /usr/lib/codecs

This create a link called codecs that points to win32. note: if a folder already exists by that name, you will need to delete it first. Make sure there's nothing in it!

Irrelevant.
If it isn't in /usr/lib, create it. You are the God of your operating system.

Can do it like this: #mkdir /usr/lib/win32

after creating the directory how would xine know the codecs is in this directory

drkstr · 04-28-2006, 01:37 PM

it checks this directory by default. It's where codecs are suposed to be installed.
