[MPlayer-users] subcp/iconv problem

[Roberto De Leo]

Hi,
I am trying to make the "-subcp" option work with MoviX but there is 
something strange.

I recently found out that to read cyrillic subtitles I have to use the 
option "-subcp  koi8r" [I tried many combinations but only this one 
seems to work] and it works perfectly fine on my Linux box, but when I 
try to do this on my MoviX mini-distro MPlayer gives some error messages 
complaining about not being able to use iconv [it runs but the 
subtittles are definitely not cyrillic].

Since MoviX is a very minimal distro my best guess is that this 'iconv' 
feature can't find some external file it uses to convert the subs, but I 
could not find anywhere [iconv man page, mplayer man page, mplayer error 
messages, subreader.c code] any trace of external files so I really do 
not know what to do to fix this.

Any hint would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
 Roberto
