ianw1974 Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 I use kaffeine for playback of my movies. The xine-win32 plugins are installed, which is allowing playback of the majority of stuff fine. The only thing is I'm missing sound in any quicktime movies. How can I get the sound to work?

solarian Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Hi, ian, I had the same problem. Install VLC player for Linux, it did the trick for me. All .mov files now playback sound. cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Hi Solarian, Tried that didn't work, however, I removed all the VLC stuff and dependencies so I was back to where I was. Then I opened with mplayer and it works fine with that. Just not with kaffeine, or VLC! Still, I'm sorted, just would be nice to use with kaffeine, I prefer that :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 I'm not too sure... and I'm too lazy to go and see on my web site where my notes are (My experience with the EPIA M10000N). However, I seem to remember that I had this problem too, and now I don't have anymore. So I suppose the solution involves doing something similar to what I did: uninstall the win32 RPM, then install the win32 codecs "by hand" from the link on the Xine web site, and then installing latest version of Xine, and Xine-lib... I hope this helps. Yves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboy Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 (edited) Well, damn, I finally got quicktime movie trailer sound to work in kaffeine. I had manually installed all the codecs from the mplayer site, but the piece that I was missing was the xine-win32-1.0.1-0.1.102plf.i586.rpm from PLF free (thanks Ian and theYinYeti for that good advice). Doing an 'rpm -qpl' on it, it contains: /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.0.1/xineplug_decode_qt.so /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.0.1/xineplug_decode_w32dll.so Did rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps to install it (because I had the custom codecs from mplayer site and it complained about dependencies). I had all the other codecs in /usr/lib/xine/plugins, so I copied these two files to there as well, just to be safe. Afterwards, I rebooted and then movie trailer sound started working in kaffeine. Xine version is xine-ui-0.99.3-2mdk and libxine1-1.0.1-0.1.102plf. The motivation for this, of course, was The War of the Worlds (and Layer Cake ).
