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?
I prefer mplayer/gmplayer myself but there are some files that just
refuse to play in mplayer. This is where xine is nice. I have tried
VLC but I like xine better as a backup.
I only added outside repositories to get it working the way I need.
What problems are you having?
I am having some issues between repositories but xine works.
