I have been trying to get ac3 and dts to play over spdif out for a week. Never realized how old the default mplayer was so i figured it would just work.
Happy Talk's steps took about 10 minutes (mostly compile time) and fixed my problem. Thanks! Post it on the wiki please since it is so current. the ftp links changed but that is it.
BTW here is what I use to play xvid with ac3/dts out to spdif on the chaintek av-710 in R5B7:
Code: mplayer -fs -zoom -quiet -vo xv %s -ao alsa:device=iec958 -afm hwac3
Only downside is I don't think it detected and compiled with LIRC (:

Just updated the guide to reflect the new version of Mplayer (1.0pre8) and the new essential codec pack (June 11, 2006).
Enjoy!

Hi,
I've just looked at the updated wiki and I was wondering... Is it necessary to recompile Mplayer to get the new codecs? Could you just configure Mplayer to use the new essential (x264) codec pack?
Would downloading it and doing this work?
Code: cd mplayer
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-menu --enable-dvb --enable-lirc --enable-x264 --disable-mpdvdkit --with-dvbincdir=/usr/src/linux/include --with-x264libdir=/usr/src/mplayer/x264 --with-x264incdir=/usr/src/mplayer/x264
I've just about got my remote working and I don't want to have to start again... as many people have now reported it doesn't work with lirc, or does the --enable-lirc sort it?

For KnoppMyth R5C7: I followed the directions in this thread and made a script so I could easily update both my and my friend's machine. It worked on both machines, so I believe it to be correct. I used the NANO editor and put this into a file named "mplayerupdate.sh".
[script edited 8-31-06 to account for dead link]
Code: cd /usr/src/
wget http://www.people.virginia.edu/~drf8f/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.0pre8.tar.bz2
wget wget http://www6.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/essential-20060611.tar.bz2
wget http://www4.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/fonts/font-arial-iso-8859-1.tar.bz2
wget http://downloads.xvid.org/downloads/xvidcore-1.1.0.tar.bz2
tar -xjf MPlayer-1.0pre8.tar.bz2
tar -xjf essential-20060611.tar.bz2
tar -xjf font-arial-iso-8859-1.tar.bz2
tar -xjf xvidcore-1.1.0.tar.bz2
mkdir /usr/local/lib/codecs
cp -r -d -p /usr/src/essential-20060611/* /usr/local/lib/codecs
cp -r -d -p /usr/src/font-arial-iso-8859-1/font-arial-18-iso-8859-1/* /usr/local/share/mplayer/font
cd /usr/src/xvidcore-1.1.0/build/generic
./configure
make
make install
cd /usr/src/MPlayer-1.0pre8
./configure
make
make install
dpkg -r mplayer-fonts
dpkg -r mplayer

One should note, w/ R5D1 you no longer need to recompile MPlayer. However, no codecsare included.

Look up through the thread. You need to go to the mplayer homepage and download either essential... (I download all...) You will need to tar zxvf thefilename.tar.gz and then cd into that unzipped folder. Now copy or move all of those individual files to /usr/lib/codecs.
EDIT: The codecs directory might not be there, so you will have to create it.
As root: mkdir /usr/lib/codecs (check if its there first, mine wasn't).
FYI-After I did this I WAS ABLE to play a windows wmv HD file and apple h264 trailers.
I used to always recompile mplayer, sure is nice now I dont hafta anymore!

No, I don't plan to hunt though the thread again.
I plan to reuse my script (which is posted above) and just remove the lines that download mplayer and complie mplayer. I did it once, now I never have to type all those commands again!

The 3rd post above yours is MY script. I'm covered.

I was actually talking about Gonzo's post to this link:
http://www6.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releas ... 11.tar.bz2
But as long as you got it working then it's all good!

Is the proper directory /usr/local/lib/codecs or /usr/lib/codecs? Both are mentioned in the posts above.

The answer to that question depends on whether you have (unnecesarily) recompiled mplayer. Type Code: which mplayer and you will either see /usr/bin/mplayer or /usr/local/bin/mplayer.
If it is the former, put the codecs in /usr/lib/codecs (this shouldbe the case if youy have not recompiled). If it is the latter (this would be the case if you have removed mplayer and recompiled from source without specifying --prefix=/usr during the configure) put the codecs in /usr/local/lib/codecs.
If you have both a /usr/bin/player and a /usr/local/bin/mplayer, you are in a mess.

Out of the box R5D1 install, /usr/lib/codecs. Cessman posted it somewhere a few weeks ago.
