Hey @Phil, I think you need the x264 package. Check out linuxpackages.net to see if you can find it, download and install it.

Hi
Thanks for a helpful script.
I tried this on Slackware 12.2. The whole process rolled out but I got the following when trying to fire up the program.

/usr/local# mplayer
mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libx264.so.59: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

Thanks Marcel for the link: http://www.slackway.org/tgz32/MPlayer-1.0rc1.tgz

This script is for Slackware 12 and I believe that LinuxPackages has been updated for the new Slackware 12.1 and the new MPlayer. I’ll have to write another script to address this.

Thanks for the script
One problem though the mplayer-rc1 package isn’t available on linuxpackages any more.
You can get it from here
