Multimedia :: DVD with xine



Hmmm..   your reply invokes a number of human responses...

1. Curiosity - Did the xine not perform for you ?

2. Sassy - Any 3 year old should be able to use mplayer.dsl ..

3. Technical - The mplayer is compiled for MMX/SSE use -
                     P1/K5/K6 and earlier cpu's will not run ..

4. Directive - Without knowing more about your hardware/setup
                     it's anyone's guess..

5. Appreciation - "We have a nice consolation prize for you
                           backstage, and Thanks for Playing ...
                             W H E E L  .... O F  .... D S L  ! "

Sassy!

thanks for your help, i had to figure out how to "symlink" . had to delete the file first. it's kind of jumpy even after enabling dma. i'm on a P3 550 and thought it would play fine. and btw, we tried, and my 3-year-old couldn't use your extension. so there.
:D
Using a smaller window seems to help with playback.
Remember, there is no video graphics acceleration in DSL with the xvesa.

I have found that the mplayer.dsl is smoother than xine,
so give it a try.. should work with a P3-550
Now that the symlink is in place , it should function just like xine.

I'll make a note that the recommended age is 8-to-80  :)

Also,

I suspect that Xvesa will give better performance than xfbdev X Windows servers

So if you are using xfbdev, I would try out Xvesa and see if performance improves.
Hi

Here it is the specs of Geexbox mplayer version that runs in a P1-MMX. Perhaps may help to improve multimedia playing in dsl. Also the source code is avalaible at this address: http://www.geexbox.org/archzoom/devel@geexbox.org--2004/mplayer
