/usr/local/lib/codecs is the correct location. I see that you got the
README from the rp9 codec package that is at your BL download
site.

Nope. I should clarify and add to the documentation for the
next release.

Which MPlayer are you using? The one that is currently at my site does
work with racook codecs. But several of the older versions will not work
even if the codecs are installed (they do not support binary codecs).

Check the file size of mplayer.tgz (I now have a list of the exact sizes of
everything at my site).
