@ -593,15 +593,14 @@ I cannot pinpoint the cause of some strange playback problem.
Do you have a stray <filename>codecs.conf</filename> file in
<filename>~/.mplayer/</filename>, <filename>/etc/</filename>,
<filename>/usr/local/etc/</filename> or a similar location? Remove it,
outdated <filename>codecs.conf</filename> files can cause obscure problems
and is intended for use only by developers.
For instance, the FourCC for Vobis has been changed recently.
If you have an old <filename>codecs.conf</filename> lying around somewhere
then it doesn't contain this new FourCC.
Therefore no playback.
Unless you intend to get involved in developing <application>MPlayer</application>,
it cannot do you any good and should be deleted.
<application>MPlayer</application> will use its built-in one instead.
an outdated <filename>codecs.conf</filename> file can cause obscure
problems and is intended for use only by developers working on codec
support. It overrides <application>MPlayer</application>'s internal
codec settings, which will wreak havoc if incompatible changes are
made in newer program versions. Unless used by experts it is a recipe
for disaster in the form of seemingly random and very hard to localize
crashes and playback problems. If you still have it somewhere on your
system, you should remove it now.
