My first message! Hello Everybody! I am about to create a Fedora based rails environment. I''m very new to rails and never installed linux before. Anybody have any quick, off the top of their head tips before I get started? This will be a development server.(Obviously, I''ll direct my linux questions elsewhere) Thanks, Dave

I'm not sure what gave me this idea, but I decided to comment out the swap partition in /etc/fstab and reboot my laptop. I did not run swapoff directly at any time. I'm running more things now than I would ever dream of to hammer my 500MB of memory, but I still notice NO slowdown. This is the best desktop experience I've ever had for any OS on any hardware! Here's the first 12

I have been all up and down my Firefox options, and all up and down whatever sound card configurations I could find in Gnome. And I just can't get sound to work. Whether it's a Flash animation, a Quicktime movie, or anything, they all run, but no sound. All other applications that run sound, like Xine or XMMS, work fine (although mysteriously XMMS every now and again loses it's

Hi, Since a number of people are eager to try out the native VP3 decoder in xine, I have made a patch available, bz2-compressed: http://www.pcisys.net/~melanson/codecs/xine-vp3-decoder-patch.bz2 To work with this patch: 1) Get the latest xine-lib from CVS. Visit this page for more details: http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=9655 The module name is xine-lib, but you will also need

I believe this could be interesting to a number of people on the list, not just me.

Hi,, I have installed xine in order to watch movies. I have some Rip quality( DVDRiP) movies. When I watch these, I can see the movie. But, Not clear. vision is bad. Do you know why? How to solve this? pls see below for the installed RPMS. my box is CENTOS 4.4 [root at worldnet ~]# rpm -qa |grep xine xine-0.99.4-8.el4.rf xine-lib-1.1.4-1.el4.rf -- Thank you Indunil Jayasooriya

After a bunch of cumbersome testing I was able to transcode a Quicktime MOV file to OGG with theora and Vorbis. The method's a bit fumbly, but it works... It is automatable except for the initial audio decoding. Software used: Xine, oggenc, ffmpeg, ffmpeg2theora, oggzmerge Step 1: Get the video out of Quicktime ffmpeg -i infile.mov -b 5000 -f mpeg2video outfile.mpg Step 2: Get the video

I'm getting the following dependency problem. Please advise how to resolve. Running 5.5 with latest kernel and all updates.

Hi, I am an active contributor to the xine multimedia player project: http://xine.sf.net I would like to add FLAC support to xine. I have almost finished a demuxer plugin which will allow xine to take apart a FLAC file (nice format document, BTW) and send packets of coded audio to an audio decoder plugin. I am having trouble with the audio decoder portion. Ideally, I would like to take the

Hi, I have been working with VP3 for some time now. Dan Miller from On2 just told me about this list. A few months ago, I managed to get On2's VP3 source snapshot to compile under Linux, a feat that many have apparently attempted and quickly abandoned. I compiled a small console app and the results of the experiment are explained here:

Hello out there! Been around the block trying to get DVD support for Totem, but I keep running into dead ends everywhere I go. Looking for CentOS 5.1-compatible xine and xine-lib packages as that seems to be the answer, but the only ones I find (like on DAG) seem to be just dead links or I get a message that the mirrors are unavailable when I try to run the rpm. Can anyone provide a link

I installed Centos on some machines that need long term support. I'm running up against some simple user convenience issues. How to play MP3? I've been really puzzled today that the addon rpm sites like livna, rpmforge, rpmfusion, epel, don't seem to have something like amarok-mp3 or xine-lib-mp3. What am I missing? It can be done in Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora Linux. In the

The page http://www.icecast.org/3rdparty.php contains some old links. Perhaps someone could update them. Oddcast was renamed and the website is unavailable. Maybe this one: http://code.google.com/p/edcast-reborn/ DeeFuzzer website moved to https://github.com/yomguy/DeeFuzzer and http://pypi.python.org/pypi/DeeFuzzer/ Xine website moved to http://www.xine-project.org/home Cajun website should be

The latest CentOS 5 kernel, 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5 broke my box and I had to drop back to 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 before I could play DVDs with either Xine or mplayer. ( xine-0.99.5-1.el5.rf & mplayer-1.0-0.36.rc1try2.el5.rf ). This is no big deal to me -- as long as I can make certain that the older kernel doesn't go away. If I understand the installonly plugin correctly, an entry of tokeep=4 in

On another note, which I'm not sure if it's related with this, the Xine library in Debian and Ubuntu is very broken with regards to FLAC decoding (and probably encoding). It's already reported on their bug tracker, but no ETA of when that will be fixed. Xine is used by Amarok, and maybe K3B too. -Ivo

When trying to update xine-lib, the following is returned, how did I break it? Please advise. Thanks in advance. Missing Dependency: libxine.so.1 is needed by package xine-0.99.6-1.el5.rf.i386 (installed) Ed Westphal

Has anyone managed to configure totem to playback DVDs etc? Currently I have installed xine for doing these.

Does anyone have an idea why cpu usage varies constantly, from as low as 4.X % to as high as 20+%? All that I have open at the time of running "top" is the gnome-terminal. The reason why I'm hunting this, is that I just can't seem to play DVD's (using Xine) without choppy playback (sound is fine). I know my laptop is aching - running CentOS 4.4 with a Celeron 800 and 256MB
