Hi,

I had the same problem.

Reason: /usr/lib/win32 is not existant, and mplayer-bin does not look into
/opt/mplayer-bin/lib/win32

A symlink from /opt/mplayer-bin/lib/win32 to /usr/lib/win32 solved the problem.

dang: Are you aware of this problem? Looks like you compiled the binary with
win32codecs dir set to /usr/lib/win32 instead of /opt/mplayer-bin/lib/win32.

*** Bug 126201 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Actually on AMD64 the files are located in /usr/lib32/win32, logical because
these are 32-bit libs,  but mplayer-bin still links to /usr/lib/win32

at the end of the ebuild it says 

dosym /usr/$(get_libdir)/win32 /opt/mplayer-bin/lib/win32

these line should be different on AMD64 something like

dosym /usr/lib32/win32 /opt/mplayer-bin/lib/win32

> these line should be different on AMD64 something like
> 
> dosym /usr/lib32/win32 /opt/mplayer-bin/lib/win32

that's what $(get_libdir) resolves to when ABI=x86 is set, which is the case,
so that's surely not the problem

The problem is, that mplayer-bin is hardcoded to look into /usr/lib/win32
(and /usr/local/lib/win32).

Herbs: Can you create a new mplayer-bin version with this path problem fixed?
There is a configure option for this particular purpose.

--with-win32libdir=DIR   W*ndows DLL files in DIR <--

Dang usually maintains mplayer-bin, but if he's not able to for some reason
then sure.

Odd.  I did compile it with --with-win32libdir=/opt/mplayer/lib/win32, and
strings showed up before, but it's not there now.  (Apparently, I had a symlink
lying around, so it works for me)  I must have pushed the wrong package or
something.  I'll rebuild.

After "sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/win32 /usr/lib64/win32" wmv9 movies are played
normally, so hardcoding Mplayer to look to /usr/lib/win32 seems to be the case.

confirmed here adding symlink resolves issue

ln -sf /opt/mplayer-bin/lib/win32/ /usr/lib/win32 

*** Bug 127622 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Is this going to get fixed any time soon?

Fixed by mplayer-bin-1.0.20060302.  SOrry for the delay.
