Hello SuSE people, The dumb question is xine is a stand-alone package, right? I think it is installed but when I do a rpm query on it, the reply is that it is not installed. Yet with a locate xine, there are about a gazillion files listed so something is there. I then use apt to try and install xine. I get a message that there are two files xine-lib and libxine1 and I must choose one. Apparently they are mutually exclusive. If I choose one the other is uninstalled and vice versa. I presently have lib-xine installed. There does not appear to be a stand-alone xine package. ????? Is this right? The reason for this question is that I cannot open a DVD movie with xine and if I try to use Kaffeine it complains that I do not have the proper codecs. Now, I do have every codec known to man AND libdvdcss installed. I can however, navigate to the vob file and Kaffeine plays it properly. This used to work very nicely in 9.2. Since my "upgrade" to 10.0 it does not. Help me understand/fix this please? Bob S.

libxine1 should be okay. Think of it as the backend. What you need now is a frontend so grab xine-ui or something like that and you should be fine. Eddie

Eddie, Thanks for replying. I reinstalled libexine1 but kaffeine still complains I don't have enough codecs. Tried your suggestion and installed xine-ui. Works beautifully. Been fooling with kaffeine since I upgraded to 10.0 trying to figure out why it can't find the codecs. Maybe I will just give up on it and use xine. Only thing I don't like is that control panel thing. Too small for my old eyes. Bob S.

Maybe what you need is another build of Kaffeine itself. From packman for example. Direct link: http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/10.0/i586/kaffeine-0.7.1-3.pm... It differs from one shipped with SuSE 10. In my case this one has solved problem with multimedia. Have a nice day, R.

Do you have w32codec-all-20050412-0.pm.0.i586.rpm or something similar installed? It can be found at packman.

There are severals "ui" (user interfaces) to xine, choose one you like; last time I looked, there were a bunch of them in display at the xine home site. I don't know if you will find them in rpm or you will have to compile them. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFD3LZ5tTMYHG2NR9URAhcEAJsH2yP/+EKDoTNkkbp++0ZLvm3XHwCdE1N8 Sw22qEqdTL+lCmugA2/06gk= =4jRI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
