Hi there, Just wanted to send my congrats to the developers and also to the people making the effort to port to IRIX. 0.9.8 is working well, and what I am especially impressed with is that xine will play back a lot of DIVX 3.11 movies on IRIX. Amazing stuff!!! It does need decent hardware to really work well - my r10K 250Mhz Octane isn't quite upto scratch with movies at 640x480 and above res., but nevertheless I'm impressed. I suspect that some optimization is needed, but is likely to be pretty tricky unless you hit the gfx hardware directly... Can be a little tricky to compile as configure always finds wrong libpng (if installed in /usr/freeware, there is an O32 in lib dir, and N32 in lib32 dir, and the latter is needed, but the former is found), but nothing a little tweaking of Makefiles cannot fix. Anyway, all the best and I hope to be able to help in the future... Nik. |
