[MPlayer-users] overriding built-in codecs in codecs.conf

[Mohammed El-Afifi]

Regarding getting sipr.so.6.0 from the binary codec packs, I checked the mplayer website and its codec packs. The currently existing one is essential-amd64-20061203.tar.bz2, and it contains sipr.so, not sipr.so.6.0.
I may create a link from sipr.so.6.0 with the name sipr.so, trying to solve this problem.
And last, I don't have a file codecs.conf on my system anywhere. I searched my whole filesystems(find / -name codecs.conf), but found nothing. The file I was talking about at my first post, was created manually.
Anyway, thanks for your support. I'll consider the hint of making a link to the library and get back to you later.

First, you should be able to get sipr.so.6.0 by downloading the MPlayer
codec packs on the website.

Second, it would be a lot easier for you to just create a link from
sipr.so to sipr.so.6.0 instead of messing with codecs.conf.

No.  But you can get the default (full) list by just copying the
codecs.conf file from mplayer/etc/ and then modifying it as you like.
