Hello, I'm trying to install Xine on my computer, but I get the following error: **************************************************************** WARNING! No X11 output plugins will be built. For some reason, the requirements for building the X11 video output plugins are not met. That means, that you will NOT be able to use the resulting xine-lib to watch videos in a window on any X11-based display (e.g. your desktop). If this is not what you want, provide the necessary X11 build dependencies (usually done by installing a package called XFree86-devel or similar) and run configure again. **************************************************************** I researched various forums to find a solution, but I have not had much luck. Can someone help? Many thanks, Juan |

Thank you for the help. I was able to install xine-ui from Synaptic. Now I'm trying to watch TV with it, but I'm getting the following error: The specified file or MRL could not be found. Please check it twice. (Sorry, No valid channels.conf found) How can I resolve this? I have a Hauppauge WinTV-950 USB stick and I read on the Hauppauge web site that it should work with xine.

Thank you for sending the link. The indicated web page says: 2.

So I was able to successfully run the command (no errors): mkdir -p ~/.xine but when I ran: scan /path_to/initial_tuning_file >~/.xine/channels.conf I got: scanning /path_to/initial_tuning_file using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' ERROR: cannot open '/path_to/initial_tuning_file': 2 No such file or directory ERROR: initial tuning failed dumping lists (0 services) Done. What can I do to fix this? I would greatly appreciate any assistance.

The website http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Xine indicates to use w_scan; however, when I tried to get the version of the 20080815 tar, I ran: tar xfj w_scan-20080815.tar.bz2 && cd $SOURCEDIR and I got: tar: w_scan-20080815.tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors Again, I'm very new to linux and I would appreciate additional guidance with installing w_scan so that I can get xine tv to work.

Very clearly described. When you downloaded it, where was the file saved? I'm guessing that this isn't the same directory as that shell's current directory... You're supposed to take notice of this kind of thing. Really. Did you just try that command, see it fail, then immediately post here? I hope not, but that's the impression that I'm getting – that you're not really doing any thinking for yourself – and that's Not Good. > Again, I'm very new to linux Not really relevant to the above. > and I would appreciate additional guidance with installing w_scan so that I > can get xine tv to work. Install it using your distribution's package manager? That should ALWAYS be what you try first, and you've given no indication that you've done this. http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html [snip] -- | Darren Salt | linux at youmustbejoking | nr.
