#2 Sometimes video don't start

[grosvince]

I encoutered one problem with two different Epia M
motherboards, one M10000 and one M6000, when using
command line like "viaexp -f -g file.avi", sometimes
video don't play, although sound does. With .avi files
and with .vob files.

I don't kown exactly when the bug appears!

Most times when I move the mouse, video appears many
seconds later...

Both PC run with Redhat 9, the M10000 with Gnome, the
M6000 with XWindows. Both uses CLEF00038 drivers, and
Alsa 1.0.3rc2 drivers/libs/utils.

Thank You!

Hi:
Could you give us the log file of the player?
And could you try to move the video output window to
update video overlay setting?
Could you tell me when video don't come out, what's
shown in the video output window? XINE logo?
I can't know precisely the problem based on your info, but
there is something suspectable in the player, I will try to fix
it, I didn't got such problem, any way.

Thanks

I am seeing the same problem. It works sometimes and
sometimes it doesn't. The process doesn't end like it is
supposed to, end hangs with the message:

xine_set_speed_internal: no input plugin from stream

From then on the only way I can get video back is to reboot

I encountered the problem on CN400 chip. I know what it's
like now :-P
I think the cause is that the device (mpeg2 decoder in
CLE266 chip) is in some invalid status. I'm looking for solution
currently.
If VeXP can operate device properly, the device shall not
hang, any way.

And it seems that there are some problem in the code base of
VeXP ui, xine-ui-0.9.22. There is not any newer version of
xine-ui 0.9.23, so I think the xine-ui package is about to be
obsoleted. I recommend you to try gxine, the new ui for xine-
lib, with argument "-V cle266x11".

================

And the message of "no input plugin" is not the real "last
word" of VeXP's xine-lib. Currently this message doesn't mean
there is a fatal error happened in xine-lib, please refer to xine-
lib/src/xine-engine/xine.c:xine_set_speed_internal(). xine-
engine will query speed capability of input plugin when change
speed, for video capture input we can't do fast forward.
