[xine-devel] [PATCH] use standard codecs directory

[Diego B. <di...@bi...>]

Hello everybody,

I'd like xine to use the same binary codecs location as MPlayer.

Currently xine uses /usr[/local]/lib/win32 while MPlayer uses
/usr[/local]/lib/codecs.  /usr[/local]/lib/codecs makes more sense since
not all binary codecs are Win32 DLLs, some are native Linux .so files
like the Real and XAnim codecs.  In the future we will see more native
binary codecs and maybe even support for things like OS X codecs on PPC
or similar.

Settling on a standard directory to put these codecs will make things
easier in the long run.  It will also make xine pick up all the codecs
people install for MPlayer automatically.

Attached is a (tested) patch that achieves this.  I've planned to send
this patch for a long time and here it is finally.  I discussed this with
Siggi at LinuxTag and I think the topic was brought up here on xine-devel
some time ago.

Please apply.

Diego
