The COOK codec is already fixed in pre7. The same problem still exists for the ATRAC3 (atrc.so) and Sipro (sipr.so) codecs of RealPlayer 10, though. Relevant entries can be added to /usr/share/mplayer/codecs.conf to fix the problem. Created attachment 70808 [details, diff]
Fix for codecs.conf adding non-versioned atrc.so and sipr.so support.
Just wanted to note that this issue hasn't been fixed since then. Please add that fix either to the mplayer ebuild or to the realplayer ebuild. And I think this is not a minor issue: there are many realmedia videos out there and mplayer effectively fails at playing them. I'd rather call this a blocker for mplayer. this is a nasty problem indeed. I ran into it today on 1.0_pre7 and was going to report it, but luckily someone has done it already. it can also be solved by creating two more symlinks from the realplayer ebuild. This should be working now with newer versions of mplayer / realplayer. Plus, the stream works for me. |
