Xine not fluid....§???

[dochyde]

Hi all...
your thread on Xine was great!
I installed the package from www.freshrpms.com (http://www.freshrpms.com) it worked like a fly!
My pb now is that the movie is pretty slow;
here is my sys: 1.2GHz Athlon 512MB RAM 32MB GeForce running on a RH 7.1 with WMaker 1280x1024.
If ya need any more info I'll stay around.

No idea what could be causing the problem.

Have you tried some of the suggestions in the Xine documentation ( xine.sourceforge.net ) such as hdparm?

[dochyde]

Here is what I tried (Big Thanks to those GREAT NHF)

[root@omega /root]# hdparm -c /dev/hdc

/dev/hdc:
I/O support = 1 (32-bit)
[root@omega /root]# hdparm -t /dev/hdc

/dev/hdc:
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 6.60 seconds = 9.70 MB/sec

[root@omega /root]# hdparm -c 1 -d 1 /dev/hdc

/dev/hdc:
setting 32-bit I/O support flag to 1
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
I/O support = 1 (32-bit)
using_dma = 1 (on)
[root@omega /root]# hdparm -t /dev/hdc

/dev/hdc:
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 6.64 seconds = 9.64 MB/sec

Thant did not change much!
My OS is running on a 4GB SCSI IBM 40mb/s and hdc is my FAT32 HDD UDMA 33 with my AVI filez on a partition.
Maybe should I try it on a ext2 fs? Does it make any difference in performance?

[MudCrawLeR]

Are you using xvideo. IT makes a ****load of difference. Try "xine -V Xv" and see what happens

[dochyde]

Great I guess we've found what the pb is! Good start.
Should I install the NVIDIA rpm drivers for X straight from their web site?
What do I have to do next?

[root@omega rpms]# xine -V Xv
video_driver_id = 'Xv'

Looks like your graphics hardware driver doesn't support Xv?!

Thnk you very much for your patience.

[mdwatts]

Yes install the appropriate nvidia kernel and glx drivers from the nvidia site.

Just follow the excellent instuctions they provide.

[dochyde]

WattsMD & MudCrawler you guyz are great!

Here is what I did for anyone this could help:

so I have a NViDiA GeForce 2MX 32MB
--> I installed the xine rpm + the appropiate libs from the www.freshrpms.com (http://www.freshrpms.com) site.

The so my video player was now up and running. Who said it's hard on Linux?!

The pb was that I was getting really bad frame rates. Apparently Xv could initialize. You can find the output up there.

SOLUTiON:
--> Download the RPMs directly from the NViDiA site www.nvidia.com (http://www.nvidia.com)
2 filez: GLX / kernel

Just before firing up your X go see your best pal "vi" for some editing of your XF86Config file.
To find out which file your X is using just check your log file. Me it was "XF86Config-4"...guess it's because I am running version 4 of XFree.
So edit this file:
-->>>> MODULE SECTION
make sure you have:
==> Load "glx"

You should also remove the following lines:

==> Load "dri"
==> Load "GLcore"

-->>>> DEViCE SECTION
replace the line:
==> Driver "nv"

with
==> Driver "nvidia"

That's all I did!!!
Fired it up and tried Xine of course and it was perfect. Rulez!
I thank you guys again and hope this can help otherz.

Hope I can help around...

[mdwatts]

Glad we could help.

That's exactly what I do for my tnt2 card at work. Dang easy.
