Definitely going to have to add PLF's stuff to my mirroring script.

Eh ok fair enough. I mixed that up with another site. That's one thing
answered.

Now there's still two left, assuming Cooker and GCC 3.1.1:

1. Xine is incompatible with current Cooker Esound (0.28). 

2. WMV decoding doesn't work on Cooker. Note: I haven't had time to try
with the PLF RPMs just yet, I compiled from source (and tweaked MDK
SRPM) distrib and CVS. On the other hand, I managed to get RH 7.2 GCC
2.96 compiled RPMs to work on Cooker, so this looks like a compiler
issue. 

This has been reported by a few users on the Xine list, I'm still
investigating about it.

Ok now as to why I'm posting this: does anyone have a different
experience than I with this, IE has latest cooker and runs Xine with
Esound fine, and/or run MDK Xine+PLF plugins fine as well?

 rpm -q --requires xine-plugins-win32
xine-plugins = 0.9.12
win32-codecs  

If you want it to be otherwise you will have to write your own spec and
build the rpms.

plf rpms are the same as those which would appear in Mandrake If it were
not for legal reasons (copyright/license/patent).

Unless I'm seriously mistaken, the win32_dll plugin does NOT include any 
binary / non free stuff; it just allows to load DLLs if you have them. 
It's included *in the source* of Xine, and compiled every time as far as 
I can tell, it's just not copied over to the RPM by the Mandrake spec. 
I'm not talking about the Win 32 DLLs themselves, just the loader 
(xine-lib/src/libw32dll).

Of course it does not.
The Win32codec is by no stretch of the imagination suitable for
inclusion in any official Mandrake release.
Even the xine source does not create this plugin unless you already have
Win32 installed.

You can get rpms built for use on cooker for both Win32 and
Xine-plugin-win32 from PLF.

[Cooker] Problems with Xine: bottom line

2002-07-09 Thread NM-Cooker

- current versions of Xine (up to latest CVS)  do NOT work properly with 
the Esound daemon/libs shipped on Mandrake. Playback gets choppy, sound 
doesn't even work, and Xine plain freezes. This is true with any 
compiler BTW.

- current libxine0 rpm from cooker (v. 0.9.12-1mdk) doesn't install the 
Win32 DLL plugin, and hence doesn't allow to use said DLLs; I added:

%_libdir/xine/plugins/xineplug_decode_w32dll.so

... to the .spec file to add it.

- unfortunately anyway, this is fucked with GCC 3.1.1, it just crashes. 
I installed Redhat contributed Xine rpms (compiled with GCC 2.96 / i386) 
and it works perfectly.

Hope this helps.
