[xine-user] Xine can't load win32 codec

[Adam S. <ad...@sc...>]

I'm running on a Linux RH9 system.  Xine lib v1.1.0, Xine UI v0.99.4. 
I've just tried the latest win32 codecs from the mplayer site.  The
problem is that xine can't seem to read the needed DLL file even though
it's available.  The only other relevant message I saw on the archives
had an answer about the codecs being built for 32-bit systems and the
person was most likely running a 64-bit system.  As far as I know, RH9
is running in 32-bit mode (is there even a 64-bit mode?)

I've installed the codecs on my system at
"/packages/xine/lib/win32-codecs".  I've set the following line in
$HOME/.xine/config:

  decoder.external.win32_codecs_path: /packages/xine/lib/win32-codecs

I ran xine with "--verbose=1" to get some diagnostic output.  If anybody
thinks it will help, I can post the entire verbose output.  What I think
is relevant is just this part:

gui_xine_open_and_play():
        mrl: '40.wmv',
        sub 'NONE',
        start_pos 0, start_time 0, av_offset 0, spu_offset 0.
xine: found input plugin  : file input plugin

wine/module: Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: wmv9dmod.dll, 
/packages/xine/lib/win32-codecs/wmv9dmod.dll,
/usr/lib/win32/wmv9dmod.dll, /usr/local/lib/win32/wmv9dmod.dll
IMediaObject ERROR: 0x414c1b67  could not open DMO DLL (0x
---------------------- (ERROR) ----------------------
A problem occur while loading a library or a decoder: wmvdmod.dll
------------------ (END OF ERROR) -------------------

It lists the 'wmv9dmod.dll' file.  If I do a long listing on the 2nd
filename tried, I get:

 796 -rw-r--r--    1 adam     staff      807032 Nov 20  2002
/packages/xine/lib/win32-codecs/wmv9dmod.dll

so obviously the file exists, is readable by me (I own the file), and is
not an empty file.

I would appreciate any help.  If there is any other information that is
useful or something else I could try, just let me know.
