Sort of following up on this interesting thread, has anyone had problems
with "real" streams with kaffeine/xine combo??
This has been discussed on the xine-users list and there seems to be a problem
with xine/ffmpeg with Xine-1.1.3 onwards and results with no audio with real
streams.
Running xine in verbose mode throw this up:
"[cook @ 0xb726a474]Necessary extradata missing!"
An example URL with a fully updated system, livna, extras and "xine-non-free"
stuff installed:
rtsp://srv1.mel.apstream.net/encoder/rrrlive.rm
Results in silence here,
In the end I have had to remove xine-1.1.4 plus the extras, non-free etc and I
rebuilt a xine-1.1.2 rpm now all is well. Sadly I have not had the time to
look into this further :(
Cheers
Colin
