Suppose you have got the win32codec and you still experience that
problem - like I did.
I've got a working solution from
http://heliosj.iddings.us/wordpress/index.php.
Here is what I have done (it's exactly what is said on the mentioned
site) and worked well - no more segfaults with .wmv in xine or mediaplayer:
1. Edit /etc/syconfig/prelink and change
PRELINK_OPTS=-mR
to
PRELINK_OPTS="-mR –no-exec-shield”
2. touch /var/lib/misc/prelink.force
3. /etc/cron.daily/prelink
This relinks all the applications, and it takes quite a while.
4. execstack -s /path/to/mplayer
execstack -s /path/to/xine
This turns off exec-shield for the mplayer and xine binary.
Hope it works for you as well.
Markus
PS: if this post will appear more times, my previous mails were not
getting throug - no idea why. I swapped now my charset from UTF-8 to
ISO-8859-1.
