Feeling fed-up with xine being broken since the updates, and not really having time to bother fixing it at the moment I decided to try mplayer. I use xine mainly for checking my home-made recordings, so the tools I most need are the ability to step through the chapters and take a snapshot of the title screen for use on the case. I can't manage to do either of these on mplayer, and wonder whether it is the app or my ineptitude. Stepping through seems to take me just 10 seconds along the time-line - rather slow for a long production. I have 5-minute-ish chapters made, and want to jump along them. I can't find any snapshot tool, and using ksnapshot seems to result in either a blank blue screen or a jig-saw series of part-screens, overwriting previously saved unrelated pngs. I've never seen behaviour like this before. Outside of mplayer ksnapshot behaves perfectly. I guess I'll have to fix xine tomorrow - but is mplayer really so lame?
Anne, It is easy and quick to fix xine: see the thread at: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fedora-list&m=116653178122843&w=2 Paul
