xine no longer works on FC4

[j.s.bach]

I have just upgraded from FC3 to FC4, and xine (which I use to play audio CDs) no longer works. At startup, it gives me the following message:

xine: There is no mrl.

Tips are welcome.

here is what I have:

[root@hotlink Desktop]# rpm -qa | grep xine
xinetd-2.3.13-6
xine-lib-1.0.1-0.lvn.6.4
xine-0.99.3-0.lvn.7.4
xine-skins-1.8-0.lvn.1.4
[root@hotlink Desktop]#

i'm also running FC4 and i managed to install xine just fine, i use it all the time. I installed xine from rpm packages from this place, they have directions right on there on how to install things. I found it pretty useful.

here's the website, http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/xine/ , i forgot to post it the first time. my mind must be elsewhere.

[j.s.bach]

which place?

can you post the result of

rpm -qa | grep xine

on your machine? Thanks.

[j.s.bach]

I followed the steps in the page you suggested, but the problems remains...

[rlopez1084]

host# rpm -qa | grep xine
libxine1-1.0cvs-050101
xine-ui-0.99.3cvs-050425

there's the results. one question, does xine keep shutting down when you try to play something?

hi!

i've just installed it and it works fine.
except that the results for me are (on FC4):
# rpm -qa | grep xine
libxine1-1.0.1cvs-050623
xine-ui-0.99.3cvs-050623
xinetd-2.3.13-6

thanks anyway!

Mine is:

$ rpm -qa | grep -i xine
xine-skins-1.10-1.fc
xinetd-2.3.13-6
xine-0.99.3-4.2.fc4
xine-lib-devel-1.0.1-2.2.fc4
xine-lib-1.0.1-2.2.fc4

I think I had installed from freshrpms. No control panel when I start xine. When I right click the screen area it closes itself. Seeing other people having installed it from livna and having problems also I don't know installing from livna would help.

Those who have it working fine. Can you post where you installed it from?

The freshrpms version works fine here, except for the lack of the control panel (but control keys works well)

[BandC]

Does it quit when you right click screen area?

By the way, I just noticed center-click on screen area makes control panel appear.

[r1348]

Yes it closes when right-clicking. There's no error report so my only guess is that it's doing exactly what it was meant to do...

The control panel appears pressing "g" too.

Well at least the version I used in FC3 (I don't remember the version number) used to pop up a context menu when you right-clicked the screen area. So unless they changed that feature, it's a bug.
