hi all, i'm trying to use mplayer for developing a video player application. i know mplayer has a growing codec support. but after i created my application i don't want to give a new version of mplayer.exe for new codec support. in this situation my application should play media files after installing codec into the system (like a codec pack). for example in players using directshow you can open a new video file (you can't open before) after installing codec of it. my question is that, does mplayer have an ability like that on windows operating systems? on mplayer official page there is an information (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html): "On Windows MPlayer will try to use the codecs installed on your system. Our packages can save you the hassle of installing every known codec and using untested codec versions." I couldn't try this situation because mplayer opened every video file I have :) thanks...
