When I play any flv file with xine there is a LOT of white noise on the background that makes hearing anything almost impossible.
I think I’ve messed up by first adding videolan repositorie and then using the 1 click install for restricted formats.
I’ve then made system switch with packman repository and then reinstalled all I could.
I don’t really know how it would work on a clean install without videolan (not sure if it is the culprit) but I can play the file with mplayer just fine.
For testing the file (every flv fails) I used kaffeine (phonon backend xine) and xine-ui itself both failed the same way.
I had to reinstall because of a mistake on the commandline ( chmod 770 -R * on / is not a good idea)
and I didn’t ever add videolan and followed your guide, upgraded system first, then use 1 click (it was failing) and then change to packman (keep failing). it is very weird because I can hear sound but it is almost all white sound.
1 - Which is the librarie for flv in xine? (anything else apart from libxine1-codecs)
2 - Or how do I clean everything, including gstreamer plugins, which somehow got auto-installed and all those packages which came with 1 click?
I was on vacation So this comes a bit late,Sorry for not following your guide the second time, I read your post after the re-install and one click.I did another re-install just to be sure and because it’s only 20 minutes away hehe and now I did follow that guide every piece of it but it does the same thing white sound on flv videos, and it’s working ok on mplayer.
I just tested an flv on my 64-bit openSUSE-11.2 and it plays ok with xine. Relevant xine apps I have installed are:
libxine1-gnome-vfs-1.1.18-1.pm.35.3.x86_64
phonon-backend-xine-4.3.80-3.2.x86_64
libxine1-pulse-1.1.18-1.pm.35.3.x86_64
xine-skins-1.0.3-1.pm.1.1.noarch
xine-ui-0.99.5cvs20091115-0.pm.2.1.x86_64
libxine1-codecs-1.1.18-1.pm.35.3.x86_64
libxine1-1.1.18-1.pm.35.3.x86_64For codecs I also have
w32codec-all-20071007-0.pm.1.1.i586
ffmpeg-0.5.22095svn-0.pm.1.1.x86_64
libffmpeg0-0.5.22095svn-0.pm.1.1.x86_64where the dependencies of ffmpeg pickup a bunch of necessary codecs.
Note by the “pm” in the version number that these are all packman packaged versions with no other packager version “snuck” in to cause incompatibility problems.
Thanks When I get to that notebook I’ll check the versions throughfully.
Semi off-topic:Why doesn’t multimedia codecs(libxine-codecs,lame,ffmpeg,etc) come in non-oss repo isn’t that what it’s for? I don’t like to mess with packman for example making system change downgraded python-numpy, what does multimedia have to do with this, I think it is an ugly solution and it wouldn’t add a lot of work for packagers.
So is there any reason this is not done?
