Posted: Fri Jul 19, 2002 6:45 pm Post subject: ogle or xine? |
|
|
i havent installed either since my last install of gentoo. my only attempt at xine the last time i tried was miserable , it wouldnt play anything because of encryption.
ogle on the other hand played every dvd i had.
is anyone running xine now without any issues? |

I've been using xine for about 3 months on gentoo with no problems. I don't remember jumping through any hoops to get it going, it just worked. |

xine workes fine for me. I just emerged libdvdnav first thing to make sure everything needed was installed. I just have to be sure to click on the "Nav" button after loading and dvd and then the play button. |

Agreed. I tried ogle and it just didn't work for me, perioid.
Xine works great and has always been easy to use... |

You'd need xine-lib which basically IS xine. Everything else is optional.
xine-ui will give you a GUI though so you want that Also, xine-d4d/xine-d5d/xine-dvdnav and xine-dmd will give you playback of encrypted dvds.
Code: | emerge xine-lib xine-ui xine-dvdnav |
will give you everything you need |

well i ran 'emerge xine-dvdnav''then xine-ui' , i think that covered most all of it...i have a dvd from the new dmb cd 'busted' thats playing now. the player gui is cool adn the display looks pretty good.
do you need d4d and d5d, do they add more versatility to playing encrypted dvd's or are they for handling different formats? |

d5d allows you to use the DVD's menuing system. |

And so does dvdnav I use dvdnav as it just seemed to work better for me. Try them all if you want. Won't do any harm. |

Yup. dvdnav works better anyway.
d5d will not let you scan through tracks like dvdnav will... |

I personally like Ogle better,
the guil is a little ugly, but I prefer the simplicity of 1 tool 1 job to the xine method of playing anything video related... clicking 3 buttons to start a DVD to me is retarded and unintuitive, when I can just type /dev/cdroms/cdrom1, hit enter, and walla ogle pops up the movie. |

well the last time i tried to install xine it wouldnt play a dvd...it kept complaining about the encryption...but this time it worked...i have no idea what i did the first time to mess the install up.
ogle was fine...i liked its simplicity too...but xine is nice..and the gui is better. i only have to press the nav button and then play....so hardly a complicated or unintuitive |

mplayer isnt current though unless you use cvs and build it yourself i think.
xine is working great and it looks awsome |

mplayer is nice because it plays every video format known to x86. (literally)
And aalib output is cool. =)
Anyone know how to get rid of the goddamn counter in the upper-left hand corner of the screen though? |

Yes. Versions 7 and 8.
I actually lied somewhat... there are some broken codecs, the only one of note being a weird variation on Realplayer 8.
It actually uses the windows dll's of the codecs themselves- not sure how, but... |
