@ Sylvander

you could create a fresh install with a save folder and then mount your savefile and copy all contents into the savefolder and then reboot, i never have tried this method i just thought about it. there is prob a better way though.

Illutorium if you compiled ffmpeg then then you already have asm.h which is required to compile mplayer with shared ffmpeg.
