[MPlayer-users] about codecs.conf

[Gabucino]

It's the Question that drives us, Hala'szi Ga'bor :

To /usr/local/share/mplayer, but not to ~user/.mplayer, of course.
(anyway this installing is a lame feature, for it causes problems like
this.)

No, those are only win32 codecs. codecs.conf also contains data for xanim
codecs, and MPlayer's build in codecs. So it's place is with MPlayer.

You have to update it.

You update your "codecsfiles" when you update MPlayer. 0.60 contains
for example opensource FLI/Cinepak/MSADPCM codecs.
codecs.conf is _general_, not w32 specific !

And you have to update codecs.conf because we dropped libac3 (MPlayer's
"internal" codec) in favor of liba52.
