rmvb files can be played by mplayer with Real player plugin compiled

cd /usr/ports/graphics/win32-codecs & make install

Mplayer will find win32-codecs and play the thing for you. You have to
compile codecs because due to license issues can not be distributed as binary package.

Don't blindly type that in, mfaridi.

Can you spot the error?

(I'm not picking on Oko. We all type too quickly, sometimes.)

Ah I got it, should have been 's/win/OpenBSD'?

It's an easy-to-make mistake. Chances are, most would read your advice and understand your intent.

However, the OP has a history of copy/paste/execute/post-that-it-didn't-work
