I came to the conclusion that I had a mixed installation, 0.9.13 and 0.9.17,
so I asked for uninstallation of xine, and started installer again. It
appeared that I could only have dvd-nav with 0.9.17, so I carefully left out
all the 0.9.13 files and re-installed. I now have a dvd button. Starting
xine gives me the copyright warning, and lists the first track, but doesn't
play any further.
I ran the command you gave, but it suggests that I still have parts of the old
version there. Perhaps that's what's causing the problem. Anyway, here is
the output (I left out the first few lines that don't help much - they were
all OK). I do hope you can advise me.
you have MTRR support and there are some ranges set.
[ good ] found the player at /usr/bin/xine
[ hint ] multiple xine executables found in your PATH
I have found more than one occurance of 'xine' in your PATH:
/usr//bin/xine
/usr/bin/xine
You have probably installed xine-ui more than once, or the directory
where you have installed xine occurs more than once in your PATH.
Technically, this is not really a problem, but it's probably
somewhat confusing, as it's not obvious, which xine you're using.
You should probably uninstall the copies that you don't use...
Further tests assume, you're using /usr//bin/xine
[OUCH!!] no xine-config on this machine.
This means that xine-lib is either not installed
or it is installed in a very unusual place.
So you should probably install xine-lib before running xine-check...
[ hint ] unable to determine plugin directory
I could not determine your plugin directory. That would be much
easier
if you had xine-config installed (see message above)...
Note that I could not check your xine plugins.
[ good ] /dev/cdrom points to /dev/cdroms/../ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd
[ good ] /dev/dvd points to /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd
[ hint ] DMA is disabled for your DVD interface.
This will probably result in a serious performance hit when
playing DVDs. You can issue the command
hdparm -d1 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd
as root to enable DMA. It would be wise to add this command to
some script that is executed executed at boot time.
Note that you probably have to set the DMA mode for your drive as
well.
Most DVD-ROMs work fine with multiword DMA mode 2. You can use
hdparm -d1 -X34 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd
(as root again) to set this mode. Maybe UDMA2 will give you even
better
performance, but it only works well with some controllers. You'll
probably need UDMA capable IDE cables for this mode. If you want
to try: make backups of your important data and type (as root again)
sync
hdparm -d1 -X66 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd
If your System still works fine after this, you probably want to keep
these settings (add them to some boot script).
If your system hangs or behaves very strangely after a few minutes,
you
should reboot immediately and never use this setting again on this
machine. Good luck ;-)
[ good ] found xvinfo: X-Video Extension version 2.2
[ good ] your Xv extension supports YUV overlays (improves MPEG performance)
[ good ] your Xv extension supports packed YUV overlays
[ good ] Xv ports: YUY2 YV12 I420 UYVY
