wma codecs

Asked by Erik Gregg

I'm having trouble playing anything that requires dshow/dmo codecs. Is support for this compiled into your mplayer builds? Thanks.

MPlayer has these codes built in. You can also play these files with Totem, look at the FAQ:
FAQ #3: “Restricted Formats”.

I have w64codecs installed from medibuntu, and I went ahead and untarred essential codecs from mplayer into /usr/lib/win32, but nothing works. On further inspection, I should move this thread to the forums based on the following output:

hank@tardis$ mplayer -ac help

Thanks for the answer.
