xine on redhat9.0

masand · 05-11-2003, 08:14 AM

i have been using xine-ui .9.0.20 and xine-lib-beta-11 on redhat 9.0
on changing the volume the xine interface freezes and seems to hang.
it used to work fine on redhat 8.0
i got to know that maybe alsa audio driver solves this problem but i dont have that driver in my xine

"i got to know that maybe alsa audio driver solves this problem but i dont have that driver in my xine"

Huh ??? What do you mean? Do you have the alsa modules inserted or not? Do "/sbin/ lsmod" and post the result here. If sound works in other apps, i'm guessing it has nothing to do with alsa.
You could try another meda player. I recomend mplayer. I find it way better then xine.

yes, mplayer is much better

there are instructions on my guide on the software page on how to install it. The red hat 8 rpms work just fine for it if you can't find the all the dependencies for 9.
I have them all saved on a cd, I just rpm -ivh * and blammo - all 14 files are done in about one minute - it's like magic. That's including all the codecs too.

For Mplayer...

Go to

http://freshrpms.net

and download the rpm

Else use synaptic to do the stuff for you

Hope that helps...
