Today I built the mplayer CVS version (not the one from portage) and it seems like it doesn't install the ffdivx codec. (looking at the output from ./configure)

Whereas the version from portage does install it.

There are some video files that I can only watch with the ffdivx codec and not with other divx codecs, so that's very unfortunate :(
When I try to play a movie file, I can see at the output from mplayer it's requesting the ffdivx codec, but it's simply not there.

Also, I refrain from using the portage version, because the CVS version has many benifits: http://www.MPlayerHQ.hu/homepage/

Anyone who knows what's up with this? Or why it's not included anymore?

Thanks in advance,

Greets

RTFM ^_^ In the docs for mplayer it tells you that its not included anymore and you have to dl it from the CVS off FFMpeg (i think thats the name), and copy it over. Anyhow, its in the codecs section of the manuals. copy it over, ./configure --enable-gui;make;su;make install; and you are all set.
