[MPlayer-users] installing codecs

[Bo Byrd]

I have openbsd3.4 and i installed mplayer from a prebuilt binary 
package.  gmplayer came with it but it errors out when i try to run a 
.rm file with this errror:

[ws] shared memory extension error.

I will admit, im not entirely sure if the codecs are installed 
correctly.  I did a recursive copy from /usr/local/share/ to 
$HOME/bo/.mplayer/ to be sure, and i downloaded all the codecs that I 
could find (i think i grabbed 3 different bz2's) to $HOME/bo/.mplayer/ 
as well.  Im just not sure if that was the right way to do it.

I also cant get it to work with the "mplayer" command either:

$ mplayer driver=nv:width=640:height=480 -vo xv /data/sp712.rm

I think i may have the codecs configured wrong...but really dont know 
what to do.  From the error message it looks like RM may not have been 
compiled in, but im not sure about that either....what am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
