Kmplayer codecs
Hi,
I just upgraded, (re-installed) my system to Suse 8.2, I've noticed that it has a Video program called Kmplayer, well what I would like to do is add codecs to it, I would like to be able to play divx format videos with Kmplayer. Anyway Got any idea how ?

KMplayer is just a frontend to mplayer.
mplayer should be able to play divx just fine, at least mine does.

Codec
afaik somewhere at the MPlayer website is a download for codec-dlls.
Anyway, did you install the divx-lib ?
You also should fetch the xvid-lib..

I've downloaded all codecs dll's I could find and extarcted them all in /usr/lib/win32. I am able to play almost all formats that I come across but I can't find divx-lib & xvid-lib to download.
Thank you

Thanks I thought it was a different version. When I had Suse 8.1 all used to work and then I re-installed it with Suse 8.2 and now mplayer does not play allot of the diff formats, well I downloaded lots of dll's codecs and it is getting better but I still can't play divx. I'll get it sorted.

you find them on the official websites of DivX & Xvid ...
(you have to look around there a little ...)

and to know where to copy your codecs:
just open terminal and type :
mplayer filename
if the codecs are in the wrong place it will inform you ,
eg: real player codecs should be in /usr/lib/RealPlayer8/Codecs if they weren't there you will see this :
[code:1]
==========================================================================
Opening audio decoder: [realaud] RealAudio decoder
Cannot open dll: /usr/lib/RealPlayer8/Codecs/cook.so.6.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ADecoder preinit failed :(
ADecoder init failed :(
*** Try to upgrade /root/.mplayer/codecs.conf from etc/codecs.conf
*** If it still does not work, read DOCS/codecs.html!
Cannot find codec for audio format 0x6B6F6F63.
==========================================================================
Audio: no sound
Video: no video
Exiting... (End of file)
[/code:1]
notice the:"Cannot open dll: /usr/lib/RealPlayer8/Codecs/cook.so.6.0"
Good Luck :-)

Hmm, I never needed the Win32 codecs, the native libffmpeg codecs worked just fine.
Perhaps the mplayer package does not include libffmpeg and the ffmpeg package is old?

Mplayer
Mplayer plays all the available media format to date. However, installing Mplayer manually can be a pain. If you have a great package manager, it should install all the media codecs available for mplayer as well as all the necessary dependencies for you automagically.
All you probably have to do afterwards is the configure mplayer to your desire.

i do believe that you must copy the dll's to /usr/lib/win32
BEFORE!
comilation of the application.
(at least thats what i had to do)
I think SuSE simply didn't compile mplayer (nor xine) with support for win32 dll's. Dunno why. I recompiled both myself and it works.

I think it's due to license problems...

It is indid. I have manually downloaded the dlls and placed them in /usr/lib/win32. It works as a treat now.
