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

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

I didn't get any responses, but I did eventually find out what was
wrong.  I'm sending the solution back to the mailing list so that if
anybody else has this problem, they can find this in the archives.

After tracing through the source I found out that the config file is
parsed so that anything after the colon (:) is saved, the whitespace
isn't removed.  Instead of doing this (like I originally had):

	decoder.external.win32_codecs_path: /path/to/codecs

you need to have this

	decoder.external.win32_codecs_path:/path/to/codecs

Notice no whitepace after the colon.
