Description Ti Leggett 2004-10-22 08:17:26 UTC

Adding support for xanim to mplayer adds h261 and h263 codecs (among others). The following could be added to the mplayer ebuild:

    xanim? ( >=media-video/xanim-2.80.1-r4 )

    ...

    if use xanim; then
        myconf="${myconf} --with-xanimlibdir=/usr/lib/xanim/mods"
    fi

Reproducible: Always

Ok, but actually this is more for the xanim codec support, which is part of
win32codecs.  Therefore you don't need xanim to use the functionality of 
MPlayer, just the codecs.  I'll take this on though, as I'm adding real
player functionality in as well.

I take that back, I'm probably going to go with doing xanim instead, because
win32codecs is not as compatible with non-x86 systems.  It still stands that
I'll be adding the functionality in :).
