[13:56] <Hfuy> hello.
[13:57] <Hfuy> Problem: mplayer complains "Cannot find codec 'h264' in
libavcodec" when trying to play certain MKVs on a new Eee PC. We've
tried downloading the binary codecs from mplayerhq.hu and put them in
both the places mentioned in the readme, but still no joy. Any
suggestions?


i think the 'Cannot find codec' message needs to be updated
to include information about badly packaged mplayer.

also it seems the binary codecs need to be more clearly labelled?
