XINE display problems on Fedora Core 2
Hi,
I have installed XINE on Fedora Core 2 using RPMs from freshrpms.net ment for FC2. While playing VCDs only sound is heared with a BLUE screen. Will it be usefull if I download source files from xinehq & install by compiling it? Help me in dealing with this problem. |
Hi,
Yes .. I have experienced similar stuff on my RH8.0 You can try the following. While u hear the sound .. try to resize the player window and guess what .. u can c the movie too. :) However, I suggest you take a look at http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/Dumm...e/id-1919.html install and experience MPlayer and I bet you wont use Xine. good luck regards Amit |
This problem persists even though you resize the window showing a blue window. And for Video no configuration is found.

It sounds like you are missing some decoder libraries, I use to get this when trying to view .avi files
along with the base packages you will need the following to make sure you can view everything: these will give you the ability to decode and play .mpg .mpeg .wmv .avi as well as video CD's (most use mpeg encoding) libxine1-w32dll w32codec-20040704-0.pm.0.i386.rpm smpeg libmpeg2 these files will give you the ability to play DVDs libxine1-dvd libdvdnav libdvdread libdvdcss-1.2.8.tar.gz (this one you will want to use the .tar.gz as I'v never seen a .rpm that works properly) I Run SuSE 9.1 so all my resources are for SuSE but you should be able to find versions for FC2. |
If anybody is using Mplayer installed using freshrpms on Fedora Core 2, please let me know if it works properly. As I want to shift from XINE to MPLAYER.
XINE is good to play *.dat video files as I dont know about MPLAYER. Let me know friends. |
