[MPlayer-users] Recurring Quicktime DLL Problem

it does scan WIN32LIBDIR (defaults to /usr/lib/win32) for *.qtx files, then
tris to open it. your log shows that it didn't load any qtx plugins, so no
wonder if it can't play your files. check the paths and rights...
but i don't know why didn't find the qtx files there...

your strace log is useless here. enable debug info in loader/Makefile
(-DDETAILED_OUT) and module.c (#define DEBUG_QTX_API) too and show -v output
then.
