Hi all, I finally got Xine up & running, thanks for all the help! It's also playing Region 1 dvd's fine, after I installed libdvdcss. However, when I play a dvd, the audio sounds somewhat jerky, i.e. it doesn't play smoothly. I examined the settings at the highest user level, but couldn't find anything to do with audio buffer settings. I changed the a/v sync from metronome to resample, but that didn't help. Any ideas? Thanks again in advance...

Any chance that you are running the chronyd ntp daemon? If so, shut it off and the problem vanishes immediately. -- -Mike Melanson |

Hi, I think I found what might be the problem, but I can't be sure. Xine-check says: /dev/cdrom points to /dev/cdroms/../ide/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/cd [ hint ] /dev/dvd is /dev/dvd, not a DVD device /dev/dvd is the default device that xine uses for playing DVDs. You could make your life easier by creating a symlink named=20 /dev/dvd pointing to your DVD device (something like /dev/scd0 or=20 /dev/hdc). If your DVD-ROM device is /dev/hdb (slave ATAPI device on=20 primary bus), rm /dev/dvd ln -s hdb /dev/dvd typed as root will give you the symlink. Alternatively, you can configure xine to use the real device=20 directly, using the setup dialog within xine, but I can't check your DMA settings in that case... -------- The thing is, I have a DVD drive which I also use as my main CDROM=20 drive, & a CD-RW drive. I set the dvd device as CDROM because I knew=20 that was where I was playing it. Obviously this must be the problem, but=20 how do I confirm which of the devices - hdb or hdc or cdrom - to use=20 for the symlink? Thanks, Wafa. Manfred Tremmel wrote: > Am Sonntag, 2.
