Hello there,

After updating a series of packages in my system, xine begun to fail me. It dies when I try to play any video stream.

I posted a bug report about this last night. Emerge ffmpeg with -pic and it'll start working again. At least it did on my computer.

Edit: nm the latest version doesn't allow that anymore. Fantastic...

Edit #2: commenting out this line in the ffmpeg ebuild allowed wmv/asf files to start working again for me:
epatch ${FILESDIR}/${PN}-libdir-pic.patch

Hi there,

I found a different solution. I looked through my emerge.log, and after playing with emerge a bit, I found alsa-lib and alsa-header to be the problem.

Solution:

-Added this to /etc/portage/package.mask:
>media-sound/alsa-headers-1.0.7
>media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.7

-Re-emerged alsa-headers and alsa-lib.

weird. I emerged 1.08 a while ago and it didn't cause that problem on my computer.

Yes, I agree it is odd... I am using built-in kernel drivers, maybe that's the problem? Somethings I rather not worry about too much as long as they work :-)

.

For some reason, I also had another problem with xine and fullscreen after downgrading alsa and had to upgrade to unstable xine-lib to fix it. I'd have to dig to see how deep the rabbit hole goes...

Try to put video output to xshm to avoid problem with fullscreen...
Thx for the tip with alsa-lib and alsa-headers, but it sucks if it is not repaired in the future...

I had exactly the same error. it helped me downgrading from alsa 1.0.8 to 1.0.7. Now everything works fine. It seemed that kmix had problems with also too.

alsa-lib-1.0.8 seems to be doing all sorts of unpleasant things; please see this topic: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-313030.html
