How to play rm/rmvb videos with mplayer

[novesky]

mplayer rc3 and rc4 for PC works fine. They can play rm/rmvb perfectly. I don't under stand why mplayer for ezx can't play rm/rmvb. What's more, ffplay can also play rm/rmvb. The related source files are the same (libavcodec/rv*.c).

At last, i'd like to post my project: http://code.google.com/p/mplayer-mencoder-ezx/

I have make some patches. The latest are http://code.google.com/p/mplayer-men...q=#makechanges
and http://code.google.com/p/mplayer-men...q=#makechanges

You can easily build mplayer for ezx just

./configure  your-configurations
   make -j4

Oh that is very interesting. It doesnt play or it crashes? Have you tried a rm video with 320x240 with no rescaling? Maybe I will find some time to have a look at the code.

RealVideo 1.0 (fourcc RV10) - En/Decode by libavcodec supported
RealVideo 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 (fourcc RV20, RV30, RV40) - Decode through RealPlayer Libraries
supported

--with-reallibdir points to Realplayer8 libraries. Have you tried to point libraries from inbuilt realplayer?

It seems only realvideo 1.0 could be played have you tried this?

i have specified --with-reallibdir to /usr/helix, but mplayer can't recognize dvrc.so, rv40.so etc. ffplay can use ffmpeg's real codec to play rm/rmvb perfectly, mplayer can't. mplayer got an error when reading the first frame.
