Hi; Just noticed that Xine is in SuSE 8.2. This is a program I've been using since I first came to Linux (SuSE 7.2) and with each SuSE upgrade I've had to download and install it myself. I'll still have to install libcss to watch DVDs but what distro would include that. I've tried mplayer but I always get no sound while playing DVDs, while xine has always worked (to some extent). Does anyone know what version of xine is included? -- Darren Harmon http://www.darrenharmon1.uklinux.net

Looks like 0.9.18 -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.1) GNOME updates for SuSE: http://www.usr-local-bin.org

Which is rather old. When people report problems with xine 0.9.x, the immediate advice on the xine users mailing list is to upgrade to 1.x. So, if SuSE can distribute a pre-release version of GCC and the latest glibc, why are some of the other packages out of date?

xine has split their packages, so there are two versions there. The version of xine-ui in 8.2 is 0.9.18, which is only two minor revisions old, and the version of libxine is 1.0 beta. 1.0final hasn't been released yet, so the beta is the newest there is, although there are probably newer betas available by the time the CDs hit the stores
Do you think 8.2 will include Xine as compiled against the libdvdcss libs (so that it works be simply installing the CSS libraries)? That would be way cool. I have reverted to d/ling the various packages from http://packman.links2linux.de/ but having them on the CD would be much nicer. I've had issues with both Xine and MPlayer and sound (in fact, video playback was non-existent as well) but it turned out that they were having troubles figuring out that I use Arts and they were failing either using Alsa or OSS. Once I either removed the xinelib1-alsa09 package or configured MPlayer to use Arts instead of Alsa I was playing movies immediately. The other (ugly) pseudo solution was to kill artsd, but I prefer the other methods as I like using Arts. begin On Tue, 1 Apr 2003 00:26:22 +0200 Anders Johansson <andjoh@rydsbo.net> wrote:

xine uses libdvdread, and the latest versions of libdvdread will use libdvdcss if it's installed on your system without without your having to do any specific compiling. So the answer to that would be yes.
Ok... That's news to me. I guess I thought libdvdread required that libdvdcss be installed and found at compile-time in order to compile in the correct hooks. Sounds great! On Tue, 1 Apr 2003 07:10:30 +0200 Anders Johansson <andjoh@rydsbo.net> wrote:

Sorry, my mistake. I tend to think of xine as the library version rather than the UI version.
