I have xine with x264,VC1 (mkv) support via VDPAU working on the command line. I can launch with 'DISPLAY=:0 xine -V vdpau -fg --no-logo filename' and it works on the MD. The MD is set to use VDPAU/auto. However when I try to launch it with the orbiter it fails with: (xine player log below). How do I check what the orbiter is using to call xine ?

I have exactly the same problem on my 0810 installation. System is uptodate. Codecs are installed.
-
xine-ui is not used. Xine_Player is a DCE device that links directly to libxine.
Please check /etc/pluto/xine.conf to be sure that it is writing out the configuration file correctly.
You should also check wizard > media directors, and check the Video Accelleration dropdown, to make sure it is set to auto.
Failing this, you should load glxinfo, and look at the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to see that the NVIDIA drivers are being loaded.
-Thom

Thanks a lot, Tom, for your informative answer. Will try to follow by your recommendations tonight and see what happens.
-
Well, I set hardware accelerator to 'auto' for the MD. It didn't help. My xine.conf is here (http://pastebin.com/4Kx4uDE1) and glxinfo output is here (http://pastebin.com/Dud5dS87). Will be very appreciated if somebody look at them and check if they are correct.
Thank in advance.
-
your video driver is set to xv in the xine config. This is wrong. You have something set incorrectly in your media director's video configuration.
-Thom
-
The driver is set to xv in my /etc/pluto/xine.conf file but VDPAU is working just fine with hardware acceleration set to VDPAU in the webadmin here. HD content is playing on my ION with 10% cpu usage. I believe that video settings in /etc/pluto/xine.conf are ignored now.

I run vdpauinfo and it didn't give me any info about VDPAU. It seems that there is some problem with nvidia driver on my installation. At the beginning I downloaded and installed the driver manually. But now it's done using package. So, possible there is some conflict. I think the easiest way is make a fresh installation 0810.
-
Are you running an 8300 GS? The 8300 supports vdpau (except certain h264 streams) but the 8300 GS does not support vdpau.

According to lspci out put I have 8300 (integrated):
VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8300 (rev a2)Unfortunately I cannot find any other information in the spec of my M3N78-EM. But where you find information that 8300GS doesn't support VDPAU? I thought that all cards series 8XXX and 9XXX should support it.
-
A GeForce 8300 supports VDPAU, but a GeForce 8300 GS does not. See: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/195.36.15/README/supportedchips.html.
Even though the GeForce 8300 supports VDPAU there are different feature sets that different cards support, see http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/195.36.15/README/vdpausupport.html the 8300 supports feature set B with the exception of certain H.264 streams.

Turns out my problem was xine_player was using /usr/local/lib and my source compiled xine was using /usr/src. Thanks lsof | grep xine.
I removed the files in/usr/local/lib/xine and rebuilt the library cache with ldconfig. Now xine_player is using the correct plugins.

Somehow during my troubleshooting /usr/bin/xine lost the ability to play VC1 files through vdpau. Xine_player log below.

I looked at the code, if size is zero, there there is a demux problem. This is the 1.1.16 code branch for xine-vdpau.
Anyone know whats wrong ?

It looks like GE8300 works incorrectly with the latest nvidia drivers installed in LinuxMCE - http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=10062.0.

How can I re-compile just pluto-xine-player from source ?
I don't see anything I the developers sections about just one package.
Assume I have setup a chroot, thats already run all the prepare scripts for a full build.

HI !!
i reinstall linuxmce 810 (version 14/05/10) but xine player don't play hd movie (.m2ts) with vdpau but xine player play hd movie with xv or opengl !!
same thing with mplayer !!
Before hd movie with vdpau ok
there is a solution to solve this problem ?
Thanks
-
I am having the same exact issue... with xv the hd content plays (not extremely well, but it plays); when I switched to vdpau i just get a black screen with sound. Although there was a noticeable improvement with everything else once I manually switched the hardware acceleration from xv to vdpau.
diskless MD
M3N78-VM
-
hi,
I have the same problem as you joerod
I have never find the solution
vdpau does not work or there is a problem in xine player
i have gt220 nvidia and linuxmce version snapshots 11-Jun-2010
-
I've install linuxmce snapshots (23152)
always the same problem as joerod
when i see a hd movie (.m2ts) with xine player there is no picture but i have sound
I think I am not alone to have the same problem
if any one can install linuxmce snapshot (23152) for test
thank
-
I might be wrong on this.
Are those .m2ts files you are talking about blueray rips?
As far as I know xine do not support blueray movies.
That´s why mplayer is started for when a .m2ts movie is played.
/niz23
-
I did try with mplayer and xine does not work
always the same default
-
In my case MKV files are played with xv acceleration using xine more or less well. VDPAU never worked for me (I have integrated GF8200 which supports VDPAU). Using Xine I don't have either picture or sound. Mplayer just plays sound and no picture with xv or vdpau.
I already wrote about that problem in this topic - http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=9998.0 You can find the log file messages there.
-
Any updates to this topic?
-
OK, I'm not entirely sure this has anything to do with the problem as I see it probably has more to do with vdpau than xine but here is a conversation I had that may help a bit...
I asked: whats the recommend way to get mkv and other h264 codecs to work?
[Fri Jul 9 2010] [21:00:48] <TSCHAKeee>
first, a correction
what you're experiencing has nothing to do with h.264
we supply h.264 codecs already, as part of ffmpeg
and an appropriate GPU can decode them on-card via VDPAU
with that said, what you're experiencing
is the fact that you're downloading pirated movies off bittorrent
(don't deny it)
which are using a newer MKV encapsulation
MKV is a container format
we do have an updated xine, which niz23 has backported the demuxer from the upcoming xine release
however, we do not currently supply them as part of the build
because they break VDR
at least until we can rebuild vdr-sxfe to properly handle the new xine libs
IF you want the new xine, you will have to forcefully install the debs
they are located here: http://tschak.homelinux.com/deb/ (http://tschak.homelinux.com/deb/)
install them all at the same time, with dpkg
keep in mind however, that you are on your own
we can't provide any support for these packages, as we are still working things out with it relating to what I mentioned above.
if you do not know how to install packages by hand with dpkg
much less how to install a batch of them at the same time
either (a) google it or (b) forget it
the mplayer player will be removed.
we will remove it from the build soon.
This got video and sound to work correctly.... kinda... I'm working on it; but it does seem to work
-
before I using this patch to read the hd movie (pluto-mplayer-player_2.0.0.44.10022622803_i386.deb) but since I've installed the latest version LinuxMCE patch does not work because the version of mplayer is more recent
-
Sorry man I didn't really understand that... but mplayer shouldn't be used... xine should be used to play everything. Make sure that your movie is not classified as "Linuxcmce Blueray Disc" and make sure it does not have a m2ts extention... I think those two conditions will cause the video to be played with mplayer instead of xine.
-
ok
I thought mplayer was of actualite
thank joerod
what extension for hd movie ??
-

Correct. But the problem is that xine doesn't play the latest MKV files. And in my case it doesn't play even old ones which I watched using mplayer under 0710. Have a look that thread - http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=9998
-
yup, same here...but as far as I read, we will probably have to wait for the next release...I checked in trac and there it says the issue has been put on halt.

this updated xine that I posted above doesn't play the mkv files?

Worked for me.
-
this updated xine that I posted above doesn't play the mkv files?
Maybe it works but it'll break VDR which very important for me.
-
I´m looking at xine now to see what can be done about this.
xineliboutput (vdr-sxfe) is what breaks if you use xine with mkv patches.
I´m not sure why as I have not found anything in vdr-sxfe that should depend upon mkv stuff in libxine.
Still it does break.

Thanks, niz23! Also it'd be nice to have possibility switch audio track in AVI or MKV played by Xine. mplayer has a short key for that. So, using keyboard it's possible change the audio track. But with xine only MessageSend can be used to do that.
-
yea, I noticed I couldn't switch audio tracks... that would be a cool feature. Is VDR better for ATSC than myth? BTW (the patch works really well for all the mkv files I couldn't play before, but) I have some videos that don't work ever since the mkv patch that did work before. Any ideas on why this would happen?
-
Looks like the latest update fixed the problem with MKV playback and didn't break VDR. Excellent work!

Run it on your core and MDs:

is anyone else still having problems with just some mkv or mp4s? is there any way I can add newer containers to the compatibility list?

I don't have any MKV file I cannot play now with LMCE. What about you?
-
at least here with me everything in this department is running nicely :-) thumbs up!
-
well, I definately have some that will play on one md but not on another (I get sound but no audio) I also have one or two that only play sound and both mds and all my videos play in windows. I'm going to look further into it to make sure I'm not doing something wrong and I'll let you guys know.
Thanks a lot for the feedback.

then when I type "apt-get upgrade" I get the following:

I did manually install a xine patch a while back, but that was before the new one that did not break vdr. Am I doing something wrong?
-
Do apt-get dist-upgrade
-
I just want to follow up on this, and say that I have the latest xine packages (1.1.16.3-0ubuntu2~xine-vdpau~intrepid~ppa2) and none of my newer mkv files work.
Is anyone else still experiencing problems? I will try to get some meaningful logs from my system tonight.
Thanks,

Note that when I remove this line from my sources.list:
deb file:/usr/pluto/deb-cache/ ./
I get this:
root@moon97:~# apt-get dist-upgrade

Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
But I assume that sources.list line should be there?
I have always had issues with package management with this LMCE installation (not just this MD, but the core also). When I go into "Software Packages" in the Setup Wizard, I get a blank list. I think it somehow ties into the fact that my internet connection wasn't working when I did my initial core install.

OK, so it seems the problem lies in my local cache having a priority of 9999, whereas yours is only 500.
I look in /etc/apt/preferences, and find:
Package: *
Pin: origin
Pin-Priority: 9999
Package: *
Pin: release v=8.10,o=Ubuntu,a=hardy,l=Ubuntu
Pin-Priority: 9998
I assume yours is different? Why does mine look like that?
Also, my core has the following preferences:
# We take MythTV from our repo always
Package: mythtv mythtv-frontend mythtv-backend mythtv-common mythtv-database mythtv-transcode-utils mythweb libmythtv-perl libmyth python-myth mythtv-themes mythplugins mytharchive mytharchive-data mythbrowser mythgallery mythgame mythmovies mythmusic mythnetvison mythnetvision-data mythnews mythvideo mythweather mythzoneminder myth-doc
Pin: origin deb.linuxmce.org
Pin-Priority: 1001
# If our local package uses the same version as elsewhere, we take the one we have locally.
Package: *
Pin: origin
Pin-Priority: 600
It has the latest libxine1
So the problem is isolated to my MD. Should I simply change the preferences? I don't want to break anything that might depend on those preferences.
Thanks,
Stuart
EDIT: of further interest is that the core has the latest libxine1 installed, but it's not in the cache directory. Hmm....

You have an old preferences files installed.
Edit them on the core and the MDs look like this:
Package: mythtv mythtv-frontend mythtv-backend mythtv-common mythtv-database mythtv-transcode-utils mythweb libmythtv-perl libmyth python-myth mythtv-themes mythplugins mytharchive mytharchive-data mythbrowser mythgallery mythgame mythmovies mythmusic mythnetvison mythnetvision-data mythnews mythvideo mythweather mythzoneminder myth-doc
Pin: origin deb.linuxmce.org
Pin-Priority: 1001
Once you've altered the file on the core any MDs you create in the future will have the correct preferences file. The lastest libxine1 is not in the deb-cache because it was downloaded after initial installation. Currently the deb-cache is kept updated after the initial installation. Your MD will grab the proper packages if you alter the preferences files as shown above.

Yes it should be there, the preferences file is the culprit.
I have always had issues with package management with this LinuxMCE installation (not just this MD, but the core also). When I go into "Software Packages" in the Setup Wizard, I get a blank list. I think it somehow ties into the fact that my internet connection wasn't working when I did my initial core install.
This is normal, there is nothing currently listed under 'Software Packages' in 0810.
