[MPlayer-users] bug - rc2 searches for realplayer codecs in wrong place

[Vladimir Mosgalin]

I've just tried to play a realmedia file with 0.90rc2 and got strange
error - mplayer searched for real codecs in a very wrong place.
Everything worked with the same setup at least in pre10, and AFAIR in
rc1 too.

Some interesting notes are below mplayer log.

I have real codecs in /usr/local/lib/RealPlayer8_codecs/. Mplayer was
configured with '--with-reallibdir=/usr/local/lib/RealPlayer8_codecs',
and config.h was correct. Everything worked just as is before.
I noticed also the following:

$ strings /usr/local/bin/mplayer |grep RealPlayer8
/usr/local/lib/RealPlayer8_codecs/%s
DT_Codecs=/usr/local/lib/RealPlayer8_codecs
into /usr/local/lib/RealPlayer8_codecs/ !

$ grep realsipr.so.6.0 /usr/local/bin/mplayer
(no output)

I wonder where mplayer got such a strange directory name?
Something isn't right with codec name too... There is no realsipr.so.6.0
in my system at all. I think something is broken in rc2...

$ ls /usr/local/lib/RealPlayer8_codecs/
