Hi, I'm working on xine-lib, trying to get it to work crippled with
available codec's and no internal ffmpeg, also in conjunction with
xine-ui which I'm just about ready to submit, when I tested the new non
x command line cacaxine on an mpeg2 from ffmpeg -target pal-dvd two
stage conversion, avi and it failed to start the codec installer.
There;s a patch which I painstakingly adapted to pre 1.2 - 1.1.90
version that has a lot of fixes in it which is about all I know of the
codec installer. Can somebody have a look (preferable for quick
resolution) or explain how the relationship between the codec installer
and libxine works, don't worry I have a good low level understanding of
such operations but my c, c++ and other scripting languages which there
are quite a few is only just past the kindergarten stage but I'm a
knowledge junkie. Must also mention that I've had far more experience
with cmake, scons and waf than automake which normally just works.
Package at home:plater xine-lib same as the multimedia:apps (yes
xine-lib is in apps not libs, wasn't me) package.
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=xine-lib&project=home%3Aplater
The project currently contains the 1.1.19 version, which is the one I
tested with cacaxine, which doesn't work. Interestingly enough the x
xine ui plays the file perfectly so maybe the codec installer works
quietly in the background or somehow the ui picks up the ffmpeg codec
source I have or fame and the caca one doesn't.
I think the codec installer is important for non kde4 guis.
Thanks
Dave P.
