Angry xine mrl?.....


Hi.
When I try to open a video file I just get the xine green screen and a sign on top that says Xine: there is no mrl.
What does that mean?...how can I fix it?

From Xine manual pages

Quote:
MRL (media resource locator)
MRLs are similar to URLs in your web browser. They describe the media to read from. valid MRLs may be plain file names or one of the following:
file:<path>
fifo:<path>
stdin:/
dvd:/[<title>.<part>]
vcd://[<CD-disk-image>|<device-name>][@[letter]<number>]
tcp://<host>:<port>
rtp://<host>:<port>
udp://<host>:<port><?iface=interface>
mms://<host>...
http://<host>...
cdda://<track-number>

Several MRLs may be specified in order to play a number of consecutive streams. Additional input plugins will provide additional MRL types. The ones listed above are available with stock libxine...

Basically Xine can't find the path to your DVD player or Video file you are trying to play

Pete
