Upgrade MPlayer codec pack to the newest

[Edmund Laugasson]

In Easyubuntu 3.01 please upgrade MPlayer to the newest version.

These are available here (different mirrors):
http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/
http://www2.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/
http://www4.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/

Thanks a lot!

We dont host our own packages, so we dont controll how up to date the packages are.
We may be able to ask the PLF to update the package though.

If you look at those addresses I provided, there you may see different versions of codecs pack.

E.g. file all-20060611.tar.bz2 is codec pack for Linux, which contains all codecs for mplayer. And these codecs are those proprietary codecs (incl. Windows Media, Realmedia, Quick Time, etc.). This all-20060611.tar.bz2 is currently (when I wrote this comment) latest version and it came out 11th of June at 2006 - it's also written into filename as you probably understood.

Exact URL for this file is (choose one of them - these are different mirrors):
http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20060611.tar.bz2
http://www2.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20060611.tar.bz2
http://www4.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20060611.tar.bz2

So, please forward the URL of this bug report to the PLF repository holders, so they can update their packages to the newest version.

It seems like in Easyubuntu 3.021 there is absolutely no installation of multimedia codecs - it seems like it's broken. I have to report another bug.
