Guest mahiles Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Does anyone know of a plugin for xine so it can play .mov files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MottS Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 From http://xinehq.de/index.php/faq#QUICKTIME Quicktime is just a system layer (container format) which can contain various different audio and video formats. The system layer itself is fully supported in xine. However, only very few typically used quicktime audio/video codecs are natively supported yet. Luckily, if you are using a x86 compatible machine (any recent PC hardware should do) you can install and use the original Quicktime DLLs and watch most streams (trailers) that can be downloaded from the net. Possibly the most convenient way to get the Quicktime DLLs is to download them from the mplayer website http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/. The package is called "QuickTime5 DLLs". Unpack it and move everything you find inside to /usr/lib/win32 (actually you can place them anywhere you want, e.g. someplace in your homedirectory, but then you'll have to set codec.win32_path in your xine config file accordingly). Restart xine then and you should be able to watch Quicktime trailers. HTH MOttS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mahiles Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Wheres the xine config file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MottS Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Put them in /usr/lib/win32 or in your $HOME. If you put them in your $HOME you actually have to modify the path for codecs in /home/WhateverUser/.xine/SomeConfigFile (I don't remember the name). But make sure /usr/lib/win32 is empty prior to modity the codec path! Personnaly I would just put them in /usr/lib/win32 but that's just me ..

Guest mahiles Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Nope still ain't working :( Xine says the file uses an unsupported codec... Video Codec: Sorenson Video 3 (SVQ3) Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MottS Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Maybe you have problems with codec (manual install). What about an RPM? http://ozzzy.dyndns.org/mandrake/xine.html According to the Xine webpage, the svq3 codec is natively supported since 1-beta12... no need for codec. You could try that. Remove your current version, download a recent beta (or cvs) version and install it. Here is a website for RPMs (daily build): http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/xine/ Good luck!
