SUID it? thats the first time I see someone actually SUIDing mplayer to run! I never had to do that... > Then again, it may be that the reason it won't play VCDs for some of you > is because you have not found all the possible plugins in the manual, > and have not installed the right one. Not that I have any VCDs to check > my install of it..... What are you talking about? I had to do 4 things in order to compile it: 1. grab the codecs and put them on the /usr/lib/win32 2. untar the tarball 3. ./configure --disable-gcc-checking 4. make ; su -c "make install" Thats it - mplayer worked perfectly ok. For those who are using Red Hat 7.2 - http://enigma.freshrpms.net got all what you need in a nice convinient RPMS (xine in 2 rpms for example, same for ogle)..
