xine

I know this is stupid, but I gotta ask.

I emerged xine, so... how do I run it?

You will likely want to emerge xine-ui and then it becomes a little more obvious.

Ummm, that is what I did emerge. Did I not emerge the actual program then? Just a user interface? When I type "emerge xine" it says that there are no masked or unmasked packages of that name.

try xine --help, if that doesn't work from the cmdline, its not installed.
I use 'xine -V xv -A arts %f', because I run KDE, so I use arts sound output
check xine --help for other output drivers.

xine --help doesn't work

What do I need to emerge to get it? I did emerge xine-ui, so I guess there is something else I need in order to make this work.

just type: emerge xine-ui and it will download and install all that it needs. After that just create a shortcut on the desktop or type: xine from a console.

xine-lib is what makes up the most of what xine does. Then a lot of the work is done with other lib's. Here is the output on my system when I run

emerge -p xine-ui

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild N ] media-libs/libogg-1.0
[ebuild N ] media-libs/libvorbis-1.0-r1
[ebuild N ] media-libs/divx4linux-20020418-r1
[ebuild N ] media-libs/win32codecs-0.90.1-r2
[ebuild N ] media-libs/libdvdcss-1.2.3
[ebuild N ] media-libs/libdvdread-0.9.3
[ebuild N ] media-libs/xine-lib-0.9.13-r2
[ebuild N ] media-video/xine-ui-0.9.13

So if you did indeed emerge xine-ui it should have emerged everything else you need. Are you sure you emerged xine-ui and not xine-libs? You can try running the same command to see what you have installed (or don't)

Hope that helps!

Ok, I know what happened. I emerge xine-ui, but the compile of the xine-libs failed, stopping the emerge. I can't get the thing to finish compiling. I have been tweaking my use flags, eventually just took them all off, but I am still getting some error. Here it is:

I use GXine 0.3 which has been recently converted to the GTK2+ toolkit. Anti-aliased fonts, a nice clean interface, and I can actually navigate it unlike those virtual-DVD panel style interfaces.

Highly recommended.

I tried emerge gxine as well. Obviously though, it relies on the same xine-libs, so as long as those won't compile I am kind of screwed.

are you trying to get a media player or just a dvd player? If just a dvd player, try Ogle, if a media player, then follow that link above. i just use mplayer from the command line, i don't like the GUI, as it doesn't work when I want it to...

We need to see the lines above what you showed us. Probably a missing lib.
You can try Ogle also. Also if you are not using ~x86 you will need xine-dvdnav if you want menus. DvdNav was merged into xine-libs in later versions.

That link above did the trick. Xine compiled and works as well as it is supposed to (I guess). I must say though, it does drop an awful lot of frames on mpeg2 decoding. It seems pretty ridiculous. Mplayer wasn't that good at it either for that matter. Oh well, I guess I'll have to deal with the occassional jerkiness when watching my Cosby Show archives.
