Most likely you are trying to play a video that is not an AVC stream. CoreAVC can only decode AVC streams, and won't work on other formats.
I thought that all h264 encoded videos were AVC streams.
Did you add the codec coreserve to your ~/.mplayer/codecs.conf? coreserve won't work just by installing the codec, dshowserver, and mplayer.

Also, remember to put "-vc coreserve,", notice the comma at the end, that tells mplayer to fallback to other codecs if coreserve doesn't work.
solved!
My problem was that I was using /usr/bin/mplayer instead of /usr/local/bin/mplayer.
Thanks for your help guys!
Very good step by step guide.I will test this on my other notebook which has some problems with x264
Anybody got it to work with smplayer?
for some reason it doesn't like me puttin rc=coreserve inside .mplayer/config. Though mplayer alone is fine.
thanks again for your time!
I am getting this error:
