Hi all,

I just noted that the latest versions of CVS mplayer,
can't playback WMV2 files anymore.

I'm using latest CVS version:
MPlayer CVS-011224-00:31-2.95.4 (C) 2000-2001

Detected ASF file format!
VIDEO:  [WMV2]  320x240  24bpp
[V] filefmt:6  fourcc:0x32564D57  size:320x240  fps:1000.00  ftime:=0.0010

Detected video codec: [wmv8] drv:4 prio:0 (Windows Media Video 8)
Loading DLL: 'wmv8ds32.ax'
Total Unfree 537458 bytes cnt 65 [(nil),0]
Warning: DS_Filter() source format is not accepted.  (DLL=wmv8ds32.ax)
Failed to create DirectShow filter
ERROR: Couldn't open required DirectShow codec: wmv8ds32.ax
Maybe you forget to upgrade your win32 codecs?? It's time to download the new
package from:  ftp://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/w32codec.zip  !
FATAL: Couldn't initialize video codec :(
*** free_stream() called ***

Exiting... (End of file)

CVS versions of mplayer of 2 days ago, still worked alright with those
files. So it seems to have gotten broken very recently.

I've redownloaded the latest codecs and losened permission on all Windows DLLs,
and recopied the codecs.conf and example.conf file continuously, but nothing works.
And again, the mplayer cvs version of a few days ago still worked on all codecs.

               With friendly regards,
                           Takis
