Before the official release of 0.9.17, with cvs version of 0.9.16, it was working very fine. So, that problem has to be again fixe, it seems.

Anyway, I would like to find out this segfault. This too sure will apear on your machine. Please guide me to debug xine. I will sure, do it. > > Audio disappears but comes back when you seek around? > Sorry, there is nothing suspicious in the log.

I am out of ideas. > </broadcast call into the woods> This happens with even DVD's having songs only. I tried some DVD's with english songs. The behaviour is still same.

Its working fine with Windows DVD player (Power DVD player). I tried to change dvd_skip_behaviour also, but the result is NOT ok !!! Means previous works with skip_part, but next doesn't work. The case is reverse for skip_program option. And it seems both next and previous doesnot work for skip_title. >> >> 4> If, I give a command line option "-s dvd" and the >> >> inserted disc is a VCD, Xine gives an error message.

Let's wait for Daniel's comment. Daniel please... > There is a new CDDA plugin in cvs now. I, checked xine-plugin, but its NOT there. Should I need to check some other folder ? Any clue for making it available into xine ? Just for Audio CD, I dont want to use XMMS, since all the rest works fine with xine ;) Thankx and Regards Nagappan -- Proud to be GNU User (www.gnu.org) |
