Hi; I am running F8 and have downloaded and installed both Xine and Mplayer. Xine( and totem I suppose) keeps taking over as default. With previous Fedora versions I just uninstalled Xine to get Mplayer working, however this time I thought I might try to get Xine going. The front end gui looks attractive and Firefox about: seems to be saying all the codecs are there. However, the first problem is there seems to be no Xine help documentation. I am willing to do the exploratory work and climb the learning curve. But before I begin and fruitlessly waste a lot of time, if anyone has some tips, hints or experience using one or the other of Xine or Mplayer, I would appreciate a short post. I know there is lots of info and previous posts on this subject, but before I even go there, is it worth it? Or should I just eliminate Xine and use Mplayer? -- Regards Bill
