As well, xine can be used in place of mplayer for the latest |
| 20 |
media-video/kmplayer. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Xine actually seems to work better than mplayer, here, on AMD64, likely |
| 23 |
because many of the codecs mplayer uses are 32-bit only, while for |
| 24 |
whatever reason, xine "just works". |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
That reminds me, I should file a bug on kmplayer, if one hasn't already |
| 27 |
been filed, so the dependency on mplayer can be removed. I end up |
| 28 |
injecting it at each upgrade, here, because as I said, xine is now and |
| 29 |
option, and "just works", where mplayer was forever blank screening or |
| 30 |
mute audioing me, due to missing codecs. |
