how to install xine

Hi and welcome to the forum.

To install Xine on Fedora, you have to first install the livna-release rpm for your version of Fedora and then enter the commands below as root

I installed livna as u said but.I am unable to install xine

You need to provide us with details of what steps you took, where you experienced problems and the exact error messages shown on your computer.

i gave command
yum install xine-lib-1.1.15.tar.bz2
so the message was
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package xine available.
No package xine-lib-1.1.15.tar.bz2 available.
Nothing to do

What you are trying to do and what I have suggested are completely different things. You are trying to use yum to install a source package which won't work. You need to use the commands I posted above exactly as they are. The commands fetch xine and any extra packages needed for xine to work from the livna repository.

I typed the same command
yum -y install xine xine-lib-extras-nonfree
the o/p was
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package xine available.
No package xine-lib-extras-nonfree available.
Nothing to do

Did you setup the livna repository like I mentioned above, because if it was setup correctly you should be able to install xine using the commands I mentioned above. What is the version of Fedora that you are using. Can you edit your LQ user profile and add it there because it helps other users give you answers that are relevant to your distribution.

yes I have installed livna.how should I check weather livna was installed successfully in my system

xine-lib and xine-lib-extras may be what you need

ok,after that

i assume that livna repo is OK, right? if you are still facing problems installing xine after using the already provided provided to you, then why don't first check the xine/xine-libs available @livna repo , so just search for it, using
it'll give you the names of all the packages that contain the name xine, you can also search for other names mentioned in earlier replies, then just put the name as it is after the "yum install" command and that will do the job, hope it helps. do let us know if you are still outfoxed by yum. thanks,

If you are still having problems, enter the commands below in a terminal whilst working as root
