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:
Are you having probs playing encrypted DVD's?
Did you try installing libdvd* and libmad* via yum? If these are
encrypted DVD's then, those library files are necessary (at least they
are on my FC2 box).
I'm sorry, I apologize for not being clearer.
With the video options that I outlined above I can play mpegs and dvds.
But not with the default setup and not with video output set to xv.
The issue is with the output drivers.
I'm lead to the believe that the xshm driver is sub-optimal.
