Where do I add codecs to kaffine?

Install the xine/mplayer/win32 codec packages (they are in PLF).

What is the Penguin Liberation Front exactly?

What is their goal?

Also, I have the drivers but just dll's bundles together where do I put them?

 

I installed MPlayer and all I did to install the drivers is drop them into a special directory ;)

Thanks,

Starnge I have an old codec pack from mplayerhq and I unpacked it to /usr/lib/win32. Now mplayer plays wmv files perfectly but Kaffeine plays only the sound, before that it didn't play anything of them.

I normally use urpmi and install the codecs through there. As devries mentioned, the xine-win32 codecs will do all you need, and are probably the same as the ones you've downloaded from mplayer. As it happens, I could never get the mplayer downloaded win32 plugins to work, that's why I used xine-win32.

 

Also, urpmi mplayer-plugins as well, so that you can play media in Firefox, or whatever your browser happens to be :P

i ran into that with kaffeine too

 

worked after installing all these :

avifile-win32

win32-codecs

xine-win32

Guess these are plf packages, at least win32-codecs. I'll try it when 2006 stable will be released,. I'm on RC2 now.

Follow the instructions in the mplayerhq download. There are four places mentioned where mplayer and xine (Kaffeine) might look. Just symlink to them all
