Kaffeine / wmvdmod.dll problem

[Marinus]

Hi,

I just installed Kaffeine on Slackware, ran it and found out I had to install the codecs package.
Downloaded the essential package and extracted it to /usr/local/lib/codecs .

However, when I try to play a WMV file it says:

A problem occur while loading a library or a decoder: wmvdmod.dll

ASF doesn't play either..

If I click OK the file plays and I hear the sound correctly, but there is no video.

I tried deinstalling/reinstalling Kaffeine but that did not help.

Any ideas??

SOLVED (by myself, hehe..)

Created and copied them to /usr/lib/win32 where they belong in slackware..

i realize this thread is old, but how did you "create" the appropriate files?

You might have to put it (as well) in /usr/lib/codecs for Xine or other video players, to find it
