I think I\'ve fixed the problem.

There are a couple of new packages in www.blastwave.org/testing
http://www.blastwave.org/testing/mplayer-1.0.0,REV=2007.10.09.rc1try3-SunOS5.8-i386-CSW.pkg.gz [^]
and
http://www.blastwave.org/testing/mplayer-1.0.0,REV=2007.10.09.rc1try3-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz [^]

Can you try these for me and let me know if the problem has been resolved. It\'s fixed it for me at least on sol-11-x86

Hi,

new x86 package generates on my box dependency error:

WARNING:
    The <CSWsambalibdev> package \"samba_libdev - Tools to
    access a server\'s filespace and printers via SMB (dev)\"
    is a prerequisite package and should be installed.

I did (also on my SunOS guya 5.11 snv_64a i86pc i386 i86pc):
pkgrm CSWmplayer
pkgadd -d mplayer-1.0.0\\,REV\\=2007.10.09.rc1try3-SunOS5.8-i386-CSW.pkg

Oops, sorry about that. I noticed a font path problem with the package on my destkop too - something a bit funny must have happened with the packaging step... Easily fixed :)

The main thing is that the iconv issue is resolved. I\'ll get another test package ready tomorrow, with the dependancies and paths fixed.

Still occurs... Have tried:
/testing: mplayer-1.0.0,REV=2007.11.20.rc2-SunOS5.10-i386-CSW.pkg
and
/unstable: mplayer-1.0.0,REV=2007.09.22.rc1try3-SunOS5.8-i386-CSW.pkg

And CSWiconv was updated Oct 12 2007 15:49 to version 1.9.2.
Maybe iconv is generator of problems?

well, sort of. The \"bug\" is described in detail in zsh here:
  http://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2008/msg00330.html [^]

I think the proper \"fix\" should be to edit isdep/getch2.c in get_term_charset and check the charset to see if it\'s \"646\". If so, return \"ASCII\" (which gnu iconv does understand).

More importantly, as a workaround, Mplayer has a \'hidden\' environment variable called MPLAYER_CHARSET. If you set this to \"noconv\", it won\'t try the iconv conversion, so the errors won\'t appear.

Probably fixed; archaic context; there is a new packaging.
