Xine Multimedia Player for DSLForum: myDSL Extensions (deprecated) Topic: Xine Multimedia Player for DSL started by: ke4nt1 Posted by ke4nt1 on June 13 2004,06:49
{EDIT}Xine player for DSL is ready for testing.... See links for screenshots and downloading below... {/EDIT} I am working on a .dsl file for Xine Player. I started building it from apt-get installed xine-ui files On my HDinstall, Xine from apt-get works great... It even resizes the screen with wma's, mpg's, avi's, !! (something I couldn't get MPlayer to do with XVesa) When I was installing the apt-get sources for xine-ui, it wouldn't install libxv1.....deb, claiming that xlibs already had a libXv.so... installed. So, I cd to /var/cache/apt/archives , found the new libxv1...deb file, and ran dpkg --contents libxv1.....deb It showed the libXv.so.1.0 and symlink libXv.so.1 files inside. So, I ran dpkg -i --force-all libxv1....deb, and it installed.. Xine runs!! Hooray... but later.... after building the .dsl file from this successfully running copy... I get errors when trying to run xine.dsl from LiveCD about libXtst6.so, which wasn't even one of the files installed, or included in my original install.. In fact, I can't even find it on my HD or in my .xine.dsl ?? Now, if I cd to my backup copy of libxv1....deb, and repeat the dpkg -i --force-all libxv1.... , the xine player works! With no error about this libXtst6.so file anymore.... Is there a way to force the new libXv.so.1.0 to install over the xlibs copy of libXv.so.1.0 when installing the .dsl file, so the xine.dsl will work ? Or, is this already happening, and something else is occurring when I force the libxv1....deb to install ? Or, am I going to regret this later when xlibs needs to call libXv.so.1.0 for a task ? <Your feedback here> 73 ke4nt Posted by TyphoonMentat on June 13 2004,07:00
I think this is probably already happening if you've put libXv.so.1.0 in the same place in the .DSL as where it is on your system - myDSL automatically overwrites files (correct me if I'm wrong). If not, then you can just run a script to delete the old one before installation of the new one I suppose.

That file, libXtst6.so, is in gnu-utils.dsl. So, try loading gnu-utils first and see what happens, or extract that single file and add it to your xine.dsl Posted by ke4nt1 on June 13 2004,15:19
Well, your right on the money again, roberts...xine.dsl runs just fine from my HDInstall. ...in my best Beaver Cleaver voice... "Gee Wally, your SWELL!" I chose the extended install for my HDInstall. And loading gnu-utils.dsl into my LiveCD session gives me the same result. Back to it.. ke4nt Posted by ke4nt1 on June 13 2004,19:41
Ok...give it a try, folks...I made some last minute changes, and removed the desktop icon. It was behaving badly. Also, try the screen resizing on several types of files, wma,mpg,avi, etc... I didn't include the libcss yet, so encrypted DVD's may not play. still testing myself.. Leave notes, and I will add files to it as they are requested. Here is a screenshot of a dvd in use.. it is playing while the screenshot is being taken. I reduced the quality to make an easy download.. Screen res is 1280x1024 < http://www.creativesound.com/ares/xine3.jpg > 73 ke4nt Posted by John on June 14 2004,01:21
