Comment 64 for bug 85751

Hello,

I'm no Debian / Ubuntu developer, may be I made some things not the best way, but it is working at least.

I managed to make a new package version, which includes a global codecs.conf file as I said, used by both mplayer / mencoder, enforcing libmad to be used instead of mp3lib. This should fix also Devede and other tools.

Please, do not forget about the bug with ffsvq3 as I reported above. I do not think it is worth opening another launchpad bug for it, since the solution would be EXACTLY the same of this case. Please consider making this solution also (the patch I made does not touch ffsvq3).

To tryout the patch I made at 7.04, save the patch to a directory, then cd into it:

$ cd where-you-saved-the-patch-I-made
$ apt-get source mplayer
$ cd mplayer-1.0~rc1/
$ patch -p1 < ../mplayer-1.0~rc1-0ubuntu9.1_to_1.0~rc1-0ubuntu9.2.diff
$ sudo apt-get build-dep mplayer
$ fakeroot make -f debian/rules binary
$ sudo dpkg -i ../mplayer_1.0~rc1-0ubuntu9.2_i386.deb ../mencoder_1.0~rc1-0ubuntu9.2_i386.deb

Please, someone who uses Devede and other stuff please test my solution. It is working for me (obviously).

If no one finds an error in it, I can see no reason why it should not be included as an update for feisty and for gutsy until a next mplayer release, as pointed by Raster.

I'll be waiting for a confirmation.
