PLaying .ram files in F12 with kaffeine crashes with a xine error message

2009-12-04 Thread Joachim Backes

Hi,

Trying to play some .ram files with kaffeine crashes with the error message:

xine is asking to seek behind the end of the data stream

The line in the ram file is exactly:

rtsp://mmlstreamerb.rhrk.uni-kl.de/mml/Neunzert_Werth.rm

Additionally, getting some weird error popup window (see attachment)

rpm -q xine-lib
xine-lib-1.1.16.3-4.fc12.i686


Any solution for this problem?

The link works with vlc from rpmfusion.

Hi Mogens,

did not help:

vlc-1.0.3-1.fc12.i686 was (and is) already installed.

Have you tried:

Works for me too (as cli, and in firefox too after changing the

I filed a bug to bugzilla.

Kaffeine

2009-11-26 Thread James W. Bennett
I am using Fedora 12. After I first install Fedora 12 Kaffeine would 
play my music cd's. Once I disconnect my computer to clean up cables 
(just tight up cables) I could no longer get kaffeine to work. I always 
gets error *Cannot find input plugin for MRL [cdda:/]*. What I am 
wondering - does anyone else see this problem and has anyone solved this 
problem.


I have two sata cdroms.
I just got on this list so I am not aware if had been previously discussed.

Thanks
Jim Bennett

kaffeine sound

2009-08-28 Thread Ed Landaveri
Ladies  gentlemen
I've been using kaffeine for years but on F11 kaffeine sound gets broken. It 
happens ONLY when watching *.mov files.

Amarok plays fine music files and even kaffeine plays them too. I've been 
tweaking the xine-engine button going from pulseaudio to alsa to no avail. It 
only happens on these *.mov files which I can play well on my CentOS boxes.

Please have anyone experienced the same issues? Thank you very much.

kaffeine no image but record

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-

Bonjour,

I installed kaffeine. Scan of TV network was OK.

I can select a TV network but cannot see any image or ear any sound.

If I record the selected program, it is recorded and I can see it using
vlc (for instance).

What is missing in kaffeine?

(f10 version)

Thanks.

So did I. Also, media players are choppy and unstable (freezing and

I have disabled this damn thing and this have solved many weird problems

Works fine here (or so I've heard... :) ).

May be a video driver problem again (per your previous post), not supporting

What video hw/driver are you using?

Re: Kaffeine codecs

Oh, and I DO use PackageKit, NetworkManager (and have Intel wireless on my 
laptop), and PulseAudio, etc... Also, I DO use SELinux in enforcing mode, and 
have done so since about Fedora 8, without any problems (a fantastic help, in 
that regard, is to enable the setroubleshoot daemon, as it tells you how to 
restore contexts for problem files). A good way to start is to grab the 
Fedora-KDE-Live CD and install it, then enable Livna-development and do the 
package updates.

Re: Kaffeine codecs

2008/10/7 kwhiskerz [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 So, then you need the codecs. Go to www.mplayerhq.hu and grab the essential 
 codecs tarball. Unpack it, as root, in /usr/lib/codecs. There is some 
 indication that you will require xine-lib-devel for xine to be able to make 
 use of these mplayer codecs (this might be available from fedora, otherwise 
 livna).

I'd recommend against bypassing package management. And also against
installation of binary-only codecs (Isn't the tarball essentially the
infamous w32codes package?). Especially when there is very little
content that can't be decoded just with the open source decoders from
livna.org.

Interesting. I seem to recall having tried that and NOT being able to access 
some multimedia file, but I can no longer say for certain. I will try in Fedora 
11, I guess, as I already have my setup for Fedora 10. It would be better if 
you were right, of course, as it is one less hassle to deal with.

Even if the codecs are not required for xine, as a xine nonfree package is 
supplied by livna, what about mplayer? These codecs are actually intended for 
mplayer and there is no livna mplayer nonfree package that I ever recall having 
seen.

So, why are these codecs infamous? I have been using them for years and have 
had very few multimedia complaints, compared to all of the laments I have read 
accompanying every new release of Fedora and the alleged lack of multimedia 
support.

I remember when I first starter using GNU/Linux in about 2004, that it
wasn't that simple to play WMV files, for example. Most of the other
video formats worked fine, though. The solution was to find and
install the w32codecs package for Debian, which wasn't included in any
official repositories. This worked, but I didn't think it was good as
a long term solution.

At some point I found out that most video files, including Wmv, could
easily be played even without the w32codecs package. I think there may
still be some formats that aren't supported by open source decoders,
but at least for me they have been very rare.

 Even if the codecs are not required for xine, as a xine nonfree package is 
 supplied by livna, what about mplayer? These codecs are actually intended for 
 mplayer and there is no livna mplayer nonfree package that I ever recall 
 having seen.

Mplayer itself is not included at all in Fedora, so it probably just
doesn't have any -nonfree suffix in the livna package name. I haven't
done any hacks, just installed it, and for what I can tell by quick
testing, it seems very able to play most of the video formats.

 So, why are these codecs infamous? I have been using them for years and have

 read accompanying every new release of Fedora and the alleged lack of 
 multimedia support.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAIK W32codecs are:
- Binary-only
- Non-redistributable (would otherwise be available in some
easier-to-find repositories)
- CPU architecture dependent
- Proprietary

I much prefer using free software that I can easily install from a
well-known package repository.

But well, I don't really know if w32codecs still offer something the
easier solutions don't. I just know that I haven't needed any decoders
besides those in Livna, for years.

You've got me curious. Maybe I'll just remove those codecs to a backup for a 
while and see if the livna nonfree package is able to do everything in both 
xine and mplayer/ffmpeg, etc. It would be a whole lot simpler.

I'd recommend against bypassing package management. And also against
installation of binary-only codecs (Isn't the tarball essentially the
infamous w32codes package?). Especially when there is very little
content that can't be decoded just with the open source decoders from
livna.org.



Interesting. I seem to recall having tried that and NOT being able to access 
some multimedia file, but I can no longer say for certain. I will try in Fedora 
11, I guess, as I already have my setup for Fedora 10. It would be better if 
you were right, of course, as it is one less hassle to deal with.

Even if the codecs are not required for xine, as a xine nonfree package is 
supplied by livna, what about mplayer? These codecs are actually intended for 
mplayer and there is no livna mplayer nonfree package that I ever recall having 
seen.

So, why are these codecs infamous? I have been using them for years and have 
had very few multimedia complaints, compared to all of the laments I have read

support.

  

Where are you getting Fedora 10 or 11??

Beta version. How is it working for you? Many bugs or not so?

Kaffeine codecs

2008-10-06 Thread Alex Makhlin
I am having trouble listening to streaming internet radio using 
Kaffeine. Does anyone know where I can find the proper codecs (if not 
all of them) and how to install them?


Thanks

Re: Kaffeine codecs

2008-10-06 Thread kwhiskerz
Kaffeine is a front-end to xine. The mplayer plugins are located in 
/usr/lib/codecs and xine understands this. Although kaffeine should recognize 
this, it doesn't, hence it is necessary to ln -s /usr/lib/codecs /usr/lib/win32.

So, then you need the codecs. Go to www.mplayerhq.hu and grab the essential 
codecs tarball. Unpack it, as root, in /usr/lib/codecs. There is some 
indication that you will require xine-lib-devel for xine to be able to make use 
of these mplayer codecs (this might be available from fedora, otherwise livna).

If kaffeine doesn't forget that the codecs weren't there the first time around, 
make it forget and have the startup wizard rerun by deleting 
/home/you/.kde/share/apps/kaffeine/wizard_stamp* and restart the program.

There is also a package, xine-lib-extras-nonfree from livna, that you should 
install.

This appears to permit playback of anything I have ever encountered. With this 
set-up, I have not needed real player or helios player, for example.

While you're at livna, grab libdvdcss so that you can play DVDs in kaffeine, 
too.

This shouldn't be necessary.  Are you sure?

(Yes, I know kaffeine may still give a warning about it, but the guts are 
really handled by xine-lib, and it should support /usr/lib/codecs out of the 
box).

I don't know, Rex. I was heeding the warning. I never thought to try without 
making the link.
