solarian Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Hi! I have a few annoying problems with multimedia players on FC5, namely - players crash when I want to launch some specific files. I'm talking about Kaffeine and Totem, Mplayer works for the most part, but sometimes has weird problems too. Strangely enough kplayer which is based on mplayer has always worked, but I don't like it, it's ugly and not nice to use. Here are more details: (all outputs are followed by a program crash) What I get from Kaffeine when try to open one .avi $ kaffeine: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.1.1/xineplug_decode_ff.so: undefined symbol: pp_get_context Another file in Totem $ totem ** (totem:6065): WARNING **: Couldn't find themed icon for "panel-screenshot" ** (totem:6065): WARNING **: Trying to connect to an older version of the GNOME screensaver totem: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.1.1/xineplug_decode_ff.so: undefined symbol: pp_get_context Help? Maybe I should install another xine from an earlier FC4 version, or maybe try some Mandriva package? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 AFAIC Fedora comes with no win32codecs at all, no MP3 support, no... Everything which isn't GPL is not included. You must install them from unofficial repos, when they are out for FC5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarian Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 (edited) nah, I installed the codecs, mp3 support, etc, but there seems to be a problem with that xine plugin which other players use... although the win32 codec rpm is for FC4 (which I have now removed, but the players still crash). maybe I should really wait for the w32codec FC5 file, but the absence of it shouldn't make my players crash with an error output pointing to xine... but maybe I'm wrong, I don't really know how they relate between each other Edited April 3, 2006 by solarian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Have you tried already downloading the original win-codec "allcodecs" sourcepackage and placing it in your /usr/share/lib/ directory? Also, check for "dirty" xine packages at freshrpms and Livna. I think there were some... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
