As a matter of fact Iam a very good listener.
That was a bit of a joke. :)
I tried the Suse distro version and it did squat.
What do you mean by "did squat"? Unlike SuSEhilf, which is as it has always been, Xine is an application that is supposed to do something slightly more than squat.
In the mail someone had been pointed at the xine site. I tried the latest version of the software from that site and it works up to a certain point where it crashes.
Xine is a bit finicky, which is why I guide people to the RPMs. Sometimes debugging a problem with an installed RPM is easier than walking somebody through configuration from source; sometimes it is not. I'm leaning towards the former in this case. Does it send anything to stderr?
The next open-source thing to do is to compile your own sources, this is the point of open source btw, in case you have missed that subtlety.
I'm highly tempted to make a remark about my own inexperience, but you seem to take jokes about like a hot poker in the eye. Currently, my DVD-ROM drive is OOS, so I can't do much helping directly, but from the other reports, there are other people on this list that have used Xine from SuSE with great success. ===== -- -=|JP|=- Hit me! - http://www.xanga.com/cowboydren/ Jon Pennington | Debian 2.3 -o) cowboydren @ yahoo . com | Auto Enthusiast /\\ Kansas City, MO, USA | ICQ UIN 69 67 29 31 _\_V __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
