Compiling Mplayer with coreavc

Hi!

About 6-7 months ago I was trying to get coreavc working with my Freevo media center. I spent alot of time working on this and actually got it working.

After the latest python 2.6 (and other) updates the mplayer-coreavc interaction seems to be broken. This means that my HD movies are showing really bad performance etc. So I decided to reinstall Mplayer to see if this fixed the issues. The problem is that I have to use a patched mplayer and the PKGBUILD I used 6 months ago doesn't work anymore.

This is the PKGBUILD I used the last time (thanks to genkipseudo):

# Mplayer-svn-coreavc
# mplayer-svn patched with support for coreavc
# Modified : me
# Original PKGBUILD by below-----

When I tried to compile this I got an error late in the process that something couldn't be found or was missing (I'm at work now so I can't quite remember). Can anyone here "update" the build so that the latest version of Mplayer gets patched? Or help me on the way? I don't have alot of experience with compiling so I've really hit a brick wall here.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ah, I'll check it out as soon as I get home!

Thanks skottish. I didn't know it was in user repositories.
