If you install the most recent version of xine-lib in portage (it is |
7 |
both unstable and masked as it is a pre-release version) and then unmask |
8 |
all the dependencies that requires you can get some wmv9 playback using |
9 |
xine. |

This is because FFmpeg has had initial VC-1 (a wmv9 superset) support |
12 |
added over summer. It is still pretty buggy though, I'm finding colours |
13 |
look weird in many videos, but this will be fixed over time. When |
14 |
people are mentioning earlier versions of xine will play some *.wmv |
15 |
files they are possible wmv7 or 8, or different files with an incorrect |
16 |
extension. |
