Description MageSlayer 2010-05-04 16:25:55 UTC

This version when used with both real and win32codecs use flags, refuses to find win32 codecs. Obviously it is due to changes in ebuild.
Mplayer says something like:

Opening video decoder: [vfwex] Win32/VfWex video codecs
Loading codec DLL: 'vp7vfw.dll'
Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: vp7vfw.dll, /opt/RealPlayer/codecs/vp7vfw.dll
Can't open library vp7vfw.dll
ICOpen failed! unknown codec / wrong parameters?
VDecoder init failed :(


Reproducible: Always

I think this line is wrong ...
  if [ use real -o use win32codecs ]; then

It should be
  if use real || use win32codecs ; then

Quite possible. Surely, I am not a bash-guru :)

As far as I can see, the issue is still present in mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20101219.
Is there any reason for not fixing it?

+  08 Feb 2013; Alexis Ballier <aballier@gentoo.org> mplayer-1.1-r1.ebuild,
+  mplayer-9999.ebuild:
+  let mplayer find by itself the binary codec dir, should fix bug #320087
