Hi all,

I was checking, via the command line, why Mplayer would not
successfully play a .wmv file. I reproduce a section of the error
output --

[quote]
FATAL: Cannot initialize video driver.
VDecoder init failed :(
Opening video decoder: [dmo] DMO video codecs
Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: wms10dmod.dll, /usr/lib/codecs/wms10dmod.dll
IMediaObject ERROR: 0x880252c  could not open DMO DLL (0x0 : 0)
Failed to create DMO filter
ERROR: Could not open required DirectShow codec wms10dmod.dll.
You need to upgrade/install the binary codecs package.
Go to http://www.mplayerhq.hu/dload.html
VDecoder init failed :(
Cannot find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x3253534D.

A check of the rpm dbase told me --

[quote]
[root@GX1 mrtg]# rpm -qa \*codec\*
mplayer-codecs-20061022-1
mplayer-codecs-extra-20061022-1
[/quote]

Both codec packages have the 20061022 date but when I go to
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html#binary_codecs I see that
the current codec packages available have the 20071007 date.

It may not fix my non-playing .wmv file problem but could the codec
packages be updated to the latest available, please?

Regards,
Alan.
