Trying to install mplayer with Real codecs. Fetched Real Player 9 codecs for Mac OS X, installed the package (installs to _usr_local/lib/codecs).

codecs

alpinobombus:/usr/local/lib/codecs alex$ ls
atrc.bundle cook.bundle drv2.bundle drvc.bundle sipr.bundle

The install mplayer using `sudo port install MPlayer`.

At first, of course, I had installed MPlayer before installing the codecs. Thus it was built without the Real Audio crapulage. Then I installed the codecs and tried uninstalling/reinstalling. Too bad the port system keeps an archive of the installed software arround, so everytime I did this, it would reinstall the archive instead of rebuilding. `sudo port clean --archive MPlayer` solved that problem.

But I guess I got the wrong codecs after all:

alpinobombus:~/Desktop alex$ mplayer vidya.rm

I’ve actually noticed that both spam and locks have been low on EmacsWiki, as of late. Thanks.
