Looks like you don't have the input plugins installed properly. What version of xine are you using and how was it installed? When you start xine, do you get this message (among lots of similar ones): load_plugins: input plugin found : file If not, you should probably reinstall xine (maybe from source). Could you try an MPEG file just to be sure it's not related to the file? (it really shouldn't be, if xine says it can't find an input plugin, but better double-check...) Cheers, Siggi |

What I've found is that dropping the -f fixes it: it starts up fine and starts auto-play (which, AIUI, it's supposed to be doing in the previous example too). I can even toggle it to fullscreen after starting it with no problems. -sbigham |
