It plays perfectly with xine. Mplayer had problems with it. Error message from mplayer: ================================================================= Requested video codec family [wmv9dmo] (vfm=dmo) not available. Enable it at compilation. Requested video codec family [wmvdmo] (vfm=dmo) not available. Enable it at compilation. Cannot find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x33564D57.

There are guides for setting up the chroot in Debian and Ubuntu, hopefully SuSE has something similar. If you compile MPlayer yourself you'll probably have to intercept uname to stop it identifying the system as 64-bit. -- The address in the Reply-To is genuine and should not be edited.

I'd be surprised if there wasn't a personality-setting tool to do this (Linux/SPARC has the sparc32 and sparc64 tools for that purpose: internally, they call personality()). -- `I work in computers so, of course, I'm an expert on everything.' --- Simon Rumble

Debian has /emul/ia32-linux/bin/uname but I haven't investigated how you're supposed to use it. I suppose one could just make /emul/ia32-linux/bin/ the first thing in PATH. There aren't any other files in the directory. And there's a wrapper called linux32. But apt-cache show includes the comment, "On systems without support for the PER_LINUX_32 execution domain, this program has no effect." Whatever the PER_LINUX_32 execution domain is. -- The address in the Reply-To is genuine and should not be edited. See <http://www.realh.co.uk/contact.html> for more reliable contact addresses.

Not useful for this. > And there's a wrapper called linux32.

Whatever the PER_LINUX_32 execution > domain is. 32-bit Linux userspace, of course. See include/linux/personality.h. There's probably a `linux64' as well. Now try `linux32 uname -a', and be enlightened. -- `I work in computers so, of course, I'm an expert on everything.' --- Simon Rumble |
