Thanks for following up on this one. I know this is a common problem, but still no joy here.
(rpm -ql libxine1 libxine1-codecs | fgrep ‘.so’) | fgrep ‘not found’
gives no response (meaning everything’s ok, right?)
With kaffeine uninstalled, I just tried a couple files in xine. That program actually gives useful messages:
- avi#1 message: The stream … uses an unsupported codec: Video Codec: ISO-MPEG4/OpenDivx (FMP4) (null)
- avi#2: unsupported Video Codec: XviD (XVID) (null)
- mkv: unsupported Video Codec: Advanced Video Coding (H264) (0x0) (null)
It seems it just can’t find the codecs. Xine is set to look in /usr/lib/win32 which has a pile of files in it, but I don’t see anything with these names, else I don’t know what the specific codec name looks like. I see
- libxine.so.1 and libxine.so.1.24.0
- a xine folder with “plug-ins” (.so) in sub-sub-folders
- RealPlayer10/codecs folder with .so files (but that’s proprietary stuff, right?)
Can you please tell me what files I should be looking for, so I can search if there is another directory where these are hiding?
On the bright side, I feel certain it is just missing codecs now. Vielen Dank.
