I get a problem dealing with 'cdda'. I found out online that this error is notorious for occuring on 5.2.1 yet there was no answer on how to work around it.

Anyone here have xine running on there machines?
Configure passed fine and creates the make file.
Then when I start to make install I get this.

input_cdda.c: In function `read_cdrom_frames':
input_cdda.c:688: error: storage size of `cdda' isn't known
input_cdda.c:699: error: `CDIOCREADAUDIO' undeclared (first use in this function)
input_cdda.c:699: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
input_cdda.c:699: error: for each function it appears in.)
input_cdda.c:688: warning: unused variable `cdda'

I looked through 2000 lines of code till I found line 680 on my way up and that was the function called 'read_cdrom_frames'. I found the function but could not figure out the code. I only had 2 semesters of C++.

I also tried doing a port install of Xine LIb and that installs sucessfully but when I attempt to install xine-ui it tells me that it cant find a version of xine lib greater then 1.0 and it cant locate some test file for xine and has trouble linking. It offeres to edit xine-config in the message but I have no idea what to edit in the file.

please help guys, I want to watch dvds on my laptop. This is the first problem in bsd since I started 3 weeks ago that I am truly stumped on.

Bump

Wow, not fun...
Maybe try adding the location of xine-lib to your $PATH, if it isn't already.
Have you tried a different frontend as well? Maybe totem or one of the others available here --> http://xinehq.de/index.php/releases. You may also want to try mplayer and see if that works as well, even went and found a link for ya ---> http://www.freshports.org/multimedia/mplayer/ I really don't have a diagnosis for ya but I figured this is better input than "bump" Just tryin to help.

linux_terror

Tried other front ends and same shit.

Fckgw it, just got gmplayer working. it rocks and it works.

Edit: didnt know, cursing wasnt allowed. Sorry.

Now gmplayer freezes and quits with signal 11, when will the nightmare end.

YAY IT WORKS. Had to recompile with make --DISABLE-RUNTIME-CPUDETECTION


Edit: Nope just had another crash. Something about bad usage of cpu/fpu/ram. Its a fatal error to.

Try just plain, old mplayer before worrying about the gui. You'll be rewareded with _loads_ of diagnostic goop as well.

How exactly do I try it without gui?

I can play stuff from the command line and it will open a video window?

Also, it tells me it cant initialize sound for some reason. I set it up for OSS, made sure to chmod 755 my devices and it still says the same thing.

Hey cool. It magically just started to work.

I wonder if It was because I didnt restart my computer after setting chmod 755 on the mixer and audio device.

in a console - 'mplayer' and any command-line options. you can even watch movies without using X windows.

Pretty much any time I build from source (and every time I'm building libraries from source) I run /sbin/ldconfig so that the system knows where to find the new goodies.

Wait are you saying this will fix the xine problems?

Also, Interesting thing happens with Mplayer. It crashes only after I attempt to enter preferences after stopping a movie. Funny, but hey it works. I just dont go into preferences when the player is stopped lol.
