FW: [xine-user] xine on SuSE 7

[Paul G. <pau...@bi...>]

That'll teach me... I wasn't trying to take the whole question--I'm only a 
simple xine user--I was just trying to ask the obvious questions that 
always get asked day-after-day-after-day.

I'd *guess* (someone else help me out if I'm wrong!) it's getting stuck 
checking out what to use for colour conversion or hardware scaling,... Err 
try xine -s.... anybody?

dear Paul

started xine from a shell
it says

this is xine - a free video player v 0.4.3 etc
allocating 2000 buffers of 4096 bytes in one chunk
(alignment = 2048)
no extra demux plugins found in /usr/local/lib/xine/plugins
xine _init: demuxer initialized

but then nothing happens
no sign of life

any idea?

thank you
