MPlayer x86_64 - no coreserve

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. mplayer patched and compiled
2. dshoowserevr works (with mythtv for example)
3. corereserve defined in ~/.mplayer/codecs/coreserve

I have mplayer working correctly under fedora i686.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I Expected:
mplayer -vc help | grep coreser
coreserve
I have got nothing.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
CoreAVC 1.7
mplayer svn on fedora i686 - works well.
mplayer svn 27731 does not work on gentoo ~amd64.

Please provide any additional information below.
On the same box mythtv works well with dshowserver.
I tried my own static compilations of dshowserver/registercodec and
dshowserver-ia32-r63-gentoo.tar.bz2.
But error is in mplayer.
What I made wrong?

did you follow the directions for mplayer in the wiki?
there should be nothing in ~/.mplayer/codecs/coreserve (at least I've never 
head of
such a path)
instead you should have the correct lines in ~/.mplayer/codecs.conf
If you have patch mplayer with the dshowserver patch, and added teh line to
codecs.conf, 'mplayer -vc help' should work properly.
Make sure you have:
libmpcodecs/vd_dshowserver.o
in your mplayer source directory.  That will verify that dshoserver was actually
comiled into the mplayer binary.

~/.mplayer/codecs.conf is deprecated.
Instead of that is ~/.mplayer/codecs directory - I use that under F8 i686.
And that works.
HM. When I tried codecs.conf:
"This codecs.conf is too old and incompatible with this MPlayer release! at 
line 1"
Then - maybe there is another way to enable it.
Hm. Maybe codecs.conf should contain something more than only coreserve 
definition?
I will check fedoras configs again.
Please do not reply. Maybe I hurried. Thanks for help.

Appologies, bugs yours pardons et scusattes grandes.
codecs.conf should contain:
"release ..." at the begining.
Kick my issue out.

I don't know how to use ~/.mplayer/codecs
If you find the correct settings to use it with dshowserver let me know and 
I'll add
it to the Wiki.  It should work like any other codec, as there isn't anything 
special
related to configs for dshowserver (it should behave just like the win32 loader)
