Dear The Xine-People,

I was wondering where I should post or look around to recommend a new
feature for the Xine Graphic User Interface? (specifically in the open
file dialog).

Thank you,

Compiled xine-1.1.0 on (vanilla/slackware) linux 2.4.31 on Pentium2/i686, 
glibc 2.3.5, gcc 3.2.3.

Compiling xine-ui (and anything else trying to link with libxine) gives the 
above error when trying to link against libxine.so.

Google research indicates this is an ld.so/ld-linux issue, because 
_dl_cpuclock_offset is part of that lib. I downloaded the slackware version 
of ld.so and checked it, and it does not have the _dl_cpuclock_offset 
symbol either, so its not just me. Apparently libc6 does not include this 
function for my platform anymore (it used to)!

Where is xine using this _dl_cpuclock_offset and how can I get around this 
problem? I grepped the src code and did not find anything about it. Is 
there a way to build libxine without using this function?

Dear Sirs,

first of all: thank you for all your work on this project.

I have one question which I could not find the answer to:

Can I set/change the error-handling?

I use normal DVDs, but occaisionally halfway the movie the thing 
crashes. And keeps crashing at the same place after re-starting, etc.
For the rest it works very well.
On another machine I use PowerDVD (well, it came with my ASUS computer 
and is called ASUSDVD, but it's the same thing) with Windows XP 
(sorry).
Now on that machine it runs well, and with bad DVDs that one keeps 
trying, skips bad parts and only when it is too bad it stops. But 
this hardly ever happens.
The machine with XINE is a brand new ASUS machine, with also the most 
expensive ASUS DVD player I could get in it.

Is there some clever error-handler in PowerDVD that is not there in 
XINE, or is it some setting that I can't find?

Thank you!

Kind regards, Peter Overduin.

Hello,

am just about to install Xine 1.0.2 when I read the following in the 
Changes:

"use -fno-inline-functions with gcc < 3.4.0 (bug known to be in 3.3.5)"

Is this bug GCC 3.3.5 specific or does it affect the whole GCC 3.3 
series? Would be nice if someone knows more about it, I still use GCC 
3.3.1 and often use -finline-functions (up to now...:-)

TIA
Malte

Hi,

After a few days of googlin' and playin' with ALSA and the zillion files
at /etc/alsa, trying to understand "ainit", I managed to solve my
problem with AC3 output. James: You were right. I was using dmix (I've
learned ALSA enables this by default if the soundcard doesn't support
hardware mixing), and after I found out how to disable it, I was able to
play 5.1 sound again. Yea! :)

Now that this is working, I wanted to try out the upmix post audio
plugin. But somehow, it doesn't work for me. I get normal, stereo
output.

I tried to run xine like this:
xine --post upmix
and I also tried out kaffeine and gxine, which have GUI for setting this
up, but the result was the same: no errors, but stereo sound.

Am I missing something? Does this plugin rely on some feature of the
hardware?

I'm running xine-lib 1.1 and xine-ui 0.99.4.

TIA,

Hi xine users!

I made a patch that activates hue slider in xine on nVidia cards.
This patch works with xv and xxmc xine's video_out drivers.
This patch I use at home with the following config:
xine-lib 1.1.0
xine-ui 0.99.4
nVidia driver, before: 7667 now: 7676.

This patch should also work with xine-lib 1.0.2 because the modified part of 
xine-lib is  the same in both versions. However neither tested it with xine 
1.0.2 nor nv opensource driver.

How to install it:
1. unpack your xine-lib
2. save xine-lib-1.x.x.patch into unpacked xine-lib directory
3. go inside xine-lib directory, and do:
4. patch -p0 < xine-lib-1.x.x.patch
5. build and install xine-lib as usual

Next xine-ui installation goes:
1. unpack your xine-ui-0.99.4
2. save xine-ui-0.99.4.patch into unpacked xine-ui directory
3. go inside xine-ui directory, and:
4. patch -p1 < xine-ui-0.99.4.patch
5. build and install xine-ui as usual

tip1: Setting hue to 30% will turn people on the screen green. Very useful if 
you see politics you do not like. Now you can show your friends that this, or 
that politic is really from Mars planet :-)
tip2: To restore hardware defaults use right mouse button and select 'Reset 
Video Settings' or set hue to 0% manually.

Hi,
I am having problems installing xine-lib-1.1.0 and gxine-0.4.6.
I have spent 3 days trying to install and have had no success.

I reinstalled Fedora Core3 and started fresh and still have problems.
I have followed the instructions and installed in home as per =
instructions.

Xine will install ok with no errors and when you install gxine it =
installs ok but for one error.
Error warning: Build with internel Spidermonkey is Deprecated.
If I go to terminal and type mplayer it tells me no such file.

As I am trying to get away from WindowsXP on all my four machines I =
would like to fix this problem with xine.
A lot of my emails come with WMV attachments and as I said I want to go =
to linux on my machines.

I am involved in web page design and also repairs to computers.

Hope you can help me resolve this problem.

Barry H.

I have a Fedora 4 system.  I have Xine v0.99.4.  I have xine-libs
installed.
I can play AVI, RM, and WMV files OK.  But I cannot play a WMV that
requires a DRM license.  The same file played in WindowsXP Windows Media
Player prompts for the DRM license and work fine.
When I play the WMV in Xine, it does not prompt for the DRM license and
the video that plays is "garbage" (large digital blocks of color).  I
have "googled" for solutions but so far have not seen anything that
helped.  I have contacted the provider of the WMV, but have no response
(yet).

Thanks
Steve

James, I know, and I'm really sorry for that. I posted a
message about that, but it didn't show up in the list yet.
The problem is that I was using Gmane, and it kept my
messsages unsent for several days. I kept sending the post,
because I thought it was lost somewhere. Yesterday I saw
that all my posts showed up in a row.
It was not my intention to post the same message several
times; I was not trying to insist. Sorry if I upset someone,
really.

I'm not sure. How can I see if I'm using it?

I'm sorry for my recent repeated posts to the list. I was posting 
through Gmane, and the messages didn't show up on the list, even _hours_ 
after I sent them... so I kept trying.
Today (5 days after my first post!) I noticed that all my messages 
showed up in a row.
It was not my intention to post more than one time (let alone four 
times!). I'll try to remember in the future that Gmane.org might keep my 
messages unsent for several days :(

no, unfortunately.  I ran out of time to implement timed recordings.  IIRC, 
kaffeine can do dvb recording now, or if you're really keen to have 
digital-vcr features, perhaps a combination of VDR or MythTV with xine as the 
frontend.  Sorry.

perhaps using the LIRC console commands via the --stdctl option would do the 
trick.

Are you uising dmix? If so try disabling it.

	Well, as a somewhat roundabout solution, you can check the info dialog 
(<Alt>-I with the basic xine-ui) and check "Frame Duration" under 
"Misc". Divide that number into 90000 for the current frames/sec. Not 
perfect, I know. :)
