Xine stopped working November 1 on FC6
Has anyone else found that Xine suddenly stopped working yesterday (November 1, 2006)? It won't play any video files -- even ones I watched the day before. A box pops up asking "Start playback anyway?" If I click "Yes", another box pops up: "There is no demuxer plugin to handle 'file:/usr/share/xine/skins/xine-ui_logo.mpv'. Usually this means that the file format was not recognized."
I run Fedora Core 5, pretty much out-of-the-box configuration (no special performance tweaks or unusual hardware or anything). I have made no changes to the system; I run a nightly Yum update. Does anyone know why this would suddenly start happening, and what I can do about it? Thanks in advance. |
Oh, and I should mention: The second box pops up if I just start Xine, without attempting to play a file. It's frustrating; I've got smut to watch!

Did you upgrade your system recently? There was an upgrade for xine-lib that broke my xine related apps (on 1 Nov). I discovered that the official FC xine-lib had overwritten my Livna xine-lib, so I simply reinstalled the xine-lib from livna and everything worked fine.

Thanks for the help!
The "xine-lib-1.1.2-17" from the Extras repository makes Xine not work on my system. I downloaded and installed the "xine-lib-1.1.2-2" from Dries, and the problem vanishes -- but Yum now wants to update to the former version. Is there a compatibility problem that I am unaware of between the Extras and Dries repositories? |
One way to avoid xine to be loaded from the extra repo again is to add en exclude section in the extra.repo file. For example, for xine, add exclude=xine* . That way, yum will bypass any xine packages from the extra repo. I had the same problem with xine. So I guess I'll fix it when I get home from work.

problem with installing package from Dries
I recently installed FC6 and am having the same problem. So I went to download the 1.2-2 version, it told me that I already had a newer version installed. So, I removed the newer version and downloaded the 1.2-2 version from Dries and this is the error I get:
Missing Dependency: libMagick.so.9 is needed by package xine-lib Missing Dependency: libcdio.so.6 is needed by package xine-lib Missing Dependency: libWand.so.9 is needed by package xine-lib Missing Dependency: libcdio.so.6(CDIO_6) is needed by package xine-lib Missing Dependency: libiso9660.so.4 is needed by package xine-lib What do I do? |
