First of all a little warning: CVS is less or more usable, but it's still
NOT recommended for everyday usage, unless someone wants to help development
or it's just curious, of course ;)
tcprobe in current CVS _can_ use mplayer for probing, using a new option
(uh-oh, I need to update the manpage ;) ), acting in facts as a frontend.
There also is a new transcode option that transparently toggles this
behaviour, and also set import modules to mplayer ones:
quoting CVS transcode manpage:
--mplayer_probe
use external mplayer binary to probe stream [off]
Default is to use internal probing code. Usage of this option
is recommended ONLY together with mplayer import modules (-x
mplayer).
In pratice, adding --mplayer_probe to transcode's commandline should do the
magic:
transcode -i a_strange_file.wmv --mplayer_probe [filter/export parameters]
