noatun/kaboodle/aktion
I see that noatun is associated with all video-files by default. This seems really strange to me because I have yet to find a video-file that I can play with either noatun or kaboodle (haven't tried aktion too much). What files are they "supposed" to be able to play? How much sense does it make to have three players that can't play anything?

There must be something wrong with your setup. I can play everything from Sorenson 3 in QT containers to wmv9.

Any format that Xine-lib supports. Both Noatun and Kaboodle are frontends for aRts and uses the xine-aRts plugin for video. If in doubt, compile and install the latest xine-lib and recompile kde-multimedia or just xine-aRts plugin. Don't bother about aktion, it is based on xanim and is due to be removed.

I installed kdemultimedia3-video-xine and grabbed the xine-packages from packman. noatun is still practically useless though. Not even mpeg1 works. I guess I could try to recompile everything, but it feels like too much work for me. a.j tisdag 06 januari 2004 00:45 skrev Charles Philip Chan:

Did you get out or relogin to KDE? Try getting out of KDE, deleting all the KDE related files and directories in /tmp, and reenter KDE or just run kbuildsycoca maunually. Just to double check, is this: http://packman.links2linux.de/?action=124 the libxine packages you install?

Actually it is not a lot of work if you have a working libxine (try someting like kaffiene to see if it works). All you have to do, after configuring kde-multimedia, is to compile and install just the xine-plugin directory.

Yes, I have relogin to kde again. And noatun is still more or less useless. I have also tried deleting everything in /tmp. When I run noatun from the comandline I get: mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding unix_connect: can't connect to server (unix:/tmp/mcop-aj/c-062c71d5-1623-40000205) Noatun still starts though. And yes, those packages your link points to were those I installed. I have among others: libxine1-1_rc3a-0.pm.0 libxine1-alsa09-1_rc3a-0.pm.0 libxine1-arts-1_rc3a-0.pm.0 kdemultimedia3-video-xine-3.1.4-39 kdemultimedia3-3.1.4-41 kdemultimedia3-video-3.1.4-41 kdemultimedia3-sound-3.1.4-41 I'm still trying to rebuild kdemultimedia from source though. Downloaded the src.rpm package but I'm still learning rpmbuild. Rpmbuild doesn't seem to be the smartest program made. It can't check dependecies automatically, so I'm still trying to doublecheck which packages I need for build. (those that are listed in the .spec-file) Thanks for your help so far though. a.j onsdag 07 januari 2004 20:08 skrev Charles Philip Chan:
