Xine and unsupported codec (ogg-vorbis)

[Seph64]

I use Gentoo mostly. After reinstalling it (after trying out Mepis again), some of my videos stop working right with Xine.

It says "video.file has a unsupported codec -- ogg-vorbis", now I emerged every thing related to vorbis and ogg that I could find, but it still says that the video has an unsupported codec (same message). Am I missing a package?

It worked with my previous install of Gentoo, and in Mepis. Now it won't work on this install?

I installed (these are the Gentoo package names):

ogg-vorbis-header
libvorbis
gst-plugins-vorbis
xmms-vorbis (to playback ogg files)
vorbis-tools
gst-plugins-ogg
libogg

Any help is appreciated.

thanks in advance.

I apology if my grammar is off tonight, my typing seems to be atrocious at the moment. :(

If it's a _video_ file then it won't be ogg-vorbis, it will be ogg-theora. Are you sure it's video? If so, and it has the .ogg extension, then install the theora codec stuff.

I know what an .ogg file is. The video file I am talking about is .mkv

I am trying your suggestion right now though, will report back in a bit.

Nope, like I said, it posts the same error, "The stream /path/to/video.mkv has unsupported codec: Audio Codec OggVorbis (audio)"

Simple question, but did you re-emerge Xine after installing all of the ogg stuff? Otherwise support won't be compiled in. I suppose there might be a USE flag that you need as well.

recompiling as we speak (again).

The first time I recompiled xine, it was mainly to get it working (it would crash (I think seg fault) every time I played an avi or mpeg file) along side trying to get the video format in question to work properly.

So I recompiled a 2nd time with some new use flags, and voila, it works. Shame I didn't think of it before hand.
