[mythtv-users] mplayer/xine both crash playing WMA files

There seems to be a problem with prelink and the win32codecs / wine.
I added this to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield-randomize

and changed this line in /etc/sysconfig/prelink:
PRELINK_OPTS="-mR --no-exec-shield"

Then, rm /etc/prelink.cache and run /etc/cron.daily/prelink.

Hope that helps you.

Kind regards,

Mark
