Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo 1.8.1 - VIDEO_PREFERED_PLAYER='mplayer' - freevo looks for Xine
On my system, Freevo indeed plays DVD's with Xine whenever available, even though I have set mplayer as my preferred player. I always fixed this simply by removing Xine the way you did... have you removed xine from /etc/freevo/freevo.conf as well? Michel 2009/9/2 Chris Jones cjns1...@gmail.com I tried playing a DVD and Freevo started Xine. I verified that my preferred video player in /etc/local_conf.py is set to mplayer. I removed Xine from the system via an apt-get remove and now Freevo crashes whenever I try to play a DVD. Has anyone seen this? Is there something else I need to configure? Do I need to refresh the cache for the Freevo user via a freevo cache - and if so how do I do that since I cannot log on as the freevo user..?? Since I use mplayer for everything audio or video, I don't want to reinstall Xine.. I don't even know how it was installed on that machine in the first place since I never use it. Neither Google nor the wiki helped, so hopefully s/o can advise. Thanks, CJ -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Well, Michel.. it's about time... :-) It's five in the morning and I just can't believe you have just fixed this for me. I had thought at least a couple of times I should check that file just in case and never got down to it.. Why on earth freevo needs two different config files is beyond me :-) I just deleted a line that said something like: xine=/usr/bin/xine Started freevo and the problem is gone... And contrary to xine that I had never configured (didn't even know I had it installed) the DVD plays absolutely fine. Lars Von Trier's The Element of Crime - a movie I absolutely recommend. Well all silly jokes aside, I am very grateful you took the trouble to reply and I do wish you an excellent day.

Well, Michel.. it's about time... :-) It's five in the morning and I just can't believe you have just fixed this for me. I didn't fix anything, you did that yourself... ;-) Overhere in the Netherlands it was 10:49 at the time of my reply by the way. Lars Von Trier's The Element of Crime - a movie I absolutely recommend. I'll keep that in mind. :-) Well all silly jokes aside, I am very grateful you took the trouble to reply and I do wish you an excellent day. Same to you!
