xine performance
 

Hi All,

I installed the xine-lib-1-beta11 version of xine with xine_ui 0.9.20 on Mandrake 9.1. The video is jerky. Previously, I had RH 8 and xine worked better than this with smoother video. Am not sure what is causing this performance loss.

Any opinions please.

Cheers,
Senthil

MPlayer is better than xine,

make sure your dvd drive is running dma mode

hdparm /dev/hd?

Hi,

Thanks for the replies. I thought mplayer is just command line. I want some gui for the dvd player so that menu and other features are supported on the gui.

hdparm says the foll - (dma is on)

/dev/hdc:
HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT failed: Invalid argument
IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
unmaskirq = 1 (on)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
BLKRAGET failed: Invalid argument
HDIO_GETGEO failed: Invalid argument

Thanks,
Senthil

mplayer has a gui
ogle is best at dvd menus.

ogle on ML9.1
 

I have ogle running on ML9.1, and it works fine. Not as good as a stand-alone dvd player though.

I have all 5 required rpm's for ogle on mandrake 9.1 << here >>, in case you need them.

Chris.
