Multimedia :: Xine and Mplayer in DSL



That's right, and the plugin compilation is impossible with the standard installation, so really the plugin don't exists for DSL
I can get xmms to run perfectly....i can play cd's, streaming audio from internet, etc.....but I still cannot get XINE to work right! It seems to come up OK when i click on icon, but there is NO SOUND! There is sound for xmms. I downloaded a file [.deb] lidvdcss but that didnt work. I had the same question on the KNOPPIX forum for my KNOPPIX HDD installation on another computer cause I also couldnt get XINE to play audio, but when I downloaded the libdvdcss file, it works now on that other computer. I am using an IBM 233 mhz with 64MB ram. I know its slow but it does seem to perform ok so far. What do I have to do to get XINE to play audio? If I click on the play button, the cd starts and ypou can see the little wave form moving around and title of song scrolling but no sound! bob
Yesterday I success running xine in DSL with my toshiba 300CDS with 32 MB RAM. The secret lies in swap memory. I formatted the hd in two partitions, with the minor one having 160 MB; after I mount with mkswap this partition, and xine ran.
The problem (yes, another one :) ) is I can't play avi with certain amount of frames. Xines sais something about my machine is too slow, running lower frames. But nothing appears. In the other hand, others avis can be played if they have lower frames. Do you know any solution, like emulation, or convertion?

Yeah, buy more memory.

Running xine on a PC with 32MB of RAM is asking a lot from the machine.

Even 64MB will be a huge improvement.

You could try conserving memory by killing all unneeded applications like xtdesktop (the program that provides the desktop icons), the "slit" apps like wmnet, mount.app, etc and the bbpager.

Each one of these programs will consume up to and sometimes more than 1MB of RAM if they are running on the machine.
