On my current (LFS-7.3) build I have one outstanding issue before I trash it and rebuild to check that my fixes during the build have worked: xine (i.e. xine-ui) only opens a file if I pass it on the command line.
I suspect I'm the one who labelled xine-ui as working with 7.2 and 7.3. In mitigation, I normally test it while using the command line to check if ffmpeg is working. Expel me if you wish ;-) Really, I only keep it around because it sounds better on some classical music videos - usually I use parole [ or vlc if I'm desperate ]. So far, I've gone back to my oldest install on one of my desktops (August last year, with 0.99.7) and it has the same problem. On 7.3 I also get an error message 'xine: There is no MRL'. Google has various 'antique' hits for that, but I couldn't see anything useful and the message might be a red herring because everything reasonable that I've passed on the commandline opens ok. For me, non-reasonable means x264, xine always has problems with those. I've found a blog post from late last year which suggests that Slackware went back to an older version (presumably 0.99.6) because of this sort of problem - and the poster didn't understand how other distros (specifically Arch, but fedora also seem to be using it) don't see the problem. So - is anyone else is using xine ? If so, is it able to open a file when you right click in the xine window ? ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
