Hi, I'd like to preface these remarks by saying I now next to nothing about the working of X, xv, etc.
I installed xine, mplayer and totem from livna for core 2. When I tried to play in xine the sound worked but I only got solid blue for the video. Neither for totem or mplayer would play at all.
I got a solution on irc that with... mplayer use -vo x11 xine -V xshm
now the xshm solution is far from optimal. from http://xinehq.de/index.php/faq "The image looks strange, it is shifted, cropped or shows weird lines!
This points to a problem with the Xv extension, which is used by xine to display the video image. To verify this, try running xine with the XShm video output plugin:
xine -V XShm
If that works fine, you just proved, that the Xv extension is buggy."
so does it mean that the xv extension is buggy? Do I need to make a bug report. At least this is on the record for next guy having problems.
xine video playback has been working flawlessly in debian-sarge. Obviously there not using xorg though.
Lex.
