[opensuse-packaging] Need help with xine-lib opensuse-codecs-installer relation.
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. Damn gmail smpt's down, using my webafrica mail. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

I think I've inadvertently opened a can of worms. Going to leave xine-libs alone. Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
