*i have a problem reading wmv9 videos
here is an example of videos in wmv format that is readable under windows media player but not under vlc 0.8.6
http://tuttifrutti.video.free.fr/
here's my use flags:
| Code: | # emerge -av vlc
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!

VLC media player 0.8.6 Janus
[00000259] access_file access error: seeking too far
[00000297] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `WMV3'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.
[00000246] main playlist: stopping playback |
*is there any wmv9 videos on the web
*by the way how do i controlvlc with the web interface?

I can't seem to play wmv's either on amd64
The other improvements on vlc kick ass tho 
would like to find out what the problem is ... i get the audio just fine
but no video from the wmv's i've tried.

tho i've tried them videos from http://www.grc.com/sr/themovie.htm
and those should be wmv9 |

Only way to play wmv's on amd64 is using mplayer-bin, sadly.  |

Try the lastest ffmpeg ebuild : ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20061016 .
It works very well with mplayer (amd64).

| Yes the ability to play the WMV9 files comes from the latest ffmpeg. So upgrade your ffmpeg then emerge the new VLC. |
