xine and red hat 8.0

[hvc]

I am a newbie. I have Red hat 8.0 and installed xine 0.9.8 rpm. When playing divx / mpegs, has sound but no image :( I'm sure is a codec problem but i don't know what to do. I installed tons of rpms with codecs, and nothing works. A help would be appreciated :)
Thanks ! :cool:

I installed divx4linux501 only. The sound plays but still no image. The movie screen appears blue. :(
Anyone knows how to solve the problem ?
Thanks :)

I installed my copy of Xine using apt-rpm......i don't remember what else it installed but i get no problems.

If you haven't used apt-rpm for RH8 then you should look into it..........it's a big help for situations like this.

You probally need the win32 codecs? You can get them from the download page at www.mplayerhq.hu and they need to be extracted to /usr/lib/win32 (I think that's the right directory)

Apt-get for Red Hat 8 is very nice for this also ;)

Thanks a lot for the help :D

By the way, how do i install xine using apt ?

Thanks once again ;)

Install the apt RPM
apt-get update (updates the sources file)
apt-get install xine (will install Xine and all dependancies

umm...that's it :D

Also for a nice GUI front end for it...

apt-get install synaptic


To there are also functions in apt-get to fix any broken installs, I can't remember the command line for this, but synaptic is very easy to use for this.

Still no image. The movie image area still appears blue. :( :(

I'm desperating here :( :( :(

Now i reinstalled red hat 8.0. Didn't installed any codecs/xine, etc yet.
Anyone that can watch divx in redhat with xine could tell all steps that i should follow to watch divx in red hat 8.0 using xine?

My system is:

P4 1,8
256 ram
Creative Ge force mx 440
Sblive 1024 player
Red Hat Linux 8.0

Thanks :)

I have the same problems some times, try moving the progress tab forward while playing a movie. The tab that moves along as the movie plays, try moving it forward a notch, see if an image appears.

That problem happens to me when I use generic video card drivers.
