Re: Problem with totem

I typed this in the terminal.
yum install totem-xine

Output:
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
Package totem-xine-2.24.3-1.fc10.i386 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

Then I typed this in the terminal
 /usr/bin/totem-backend -b xine totem

After this when I trying to play a file like "dbgt35.rmvb" it starts playing the audio of that video file but it does not play the video .(black screen)

After this I also typed this in the terminal.
 /usr/bin/totem-backend -b xine totem-video-thumbnailer

Can anyone tell me what are these?
totem-audio-preview
totem-video-indexer
totem-video-thumbnailer
What do they do?

Now if I check from Movie Player>help>About
It says :Movie Player using xine-lib version 1.1.16.1

[Note:Same problem for gxine,dragonplayer,kaffeine.
They play the sound of the video file like "dbgt35.rmvb" but can't play the video.(only the black screen) and trying to play with mplayer, message :Could not open required direct show codec drvc.dll but it plays the video with this message]

Tipically I use xine engine with totem, instead of gstreamer.
You can do:

yum install totem-xine

then you can use totem-backend to verify if setting xine as backend
solves the problem and eventually set it as the default engine for
totem.

[gcecchi@tekkaman ~]$ totem-backend --help
Error: No backend name passed.
Usage:
- As root, to set the default backend, system-wide:
       /usr/bin/totem-backend -b <backend name>

- As a normal user, to run a program with a specific backend:
       /usr/bin/totem-backend -b <backend name> <program name>
[program options...]

- "backend name" is one of gstreamer or xine
- "program name" is one of totem, totem-audio-preview,
  totem-video-indexer or totem-video-thumbnailer

In totem gui you see the engine with
Help --> About
and with xine set you get in the window:
Movie Player using xine-lib version 1.1.16.1

HIH,
