Bug 106892 – MPlayer should support 'enca' USE flag

• Status: RESOLVED LATER
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jakub Argasinski 2005-09-22 07:52:23 UTC]

MPlayer is capable of using ENCA library ("ENCA detects the character coding of
a file and converts it if desired"), but currently there's no USE flag which
could specify if user wants to include this support or not. It's a very useful
feature of MPlayer, because ENCA supports detection of encoding on-the-fly.

Reproducible: Always

Patch adding USE flag 'enca' to MPlayer

I have created this small patch which solves the bug (WFM). I guess it requires
further improvement (ENCA is currently available for x86 and PPC).

After a version of enca is marked stable (go ahead and file a new bug for a stable bump, if there isn't one already) then we can add it.

needs to be stable on all arches before we can support it
