Title: xine not working
Post by: kayjay on June 29, 2011, 11:37:38 AM

I often use xine for playing udp multicast IPTV streams. I thought I'd give TCL 3.7.1 a try. I installed xine-ui.tcz but when I run it it I get "XLib: extension XVideo missing on display 0:0". I get an almost identical message if I try vlc. Is there some trick that I'm missing

Thanks

Hi kayjay
A quick Google search came up with this possibility:

Open your xorg.conf file
Add the following line to the module section:

Load "extmod"

Strange - a search shows that I do not have an xorg.conf file...

Hi kayjay
Open a terminal and type   sudo find / -iname xorg*   and see what that says.

Rich,

Still no. Xorg-7.5 is installed though. Have I missed something?

Hi kayjay
The command I gave in reply #3 should have returned something.
I can think of three possibilities here:
1. Xorg is not installed.
2. You mis-typed the command. If it responded with just a command prompt, you typed it correctly.
    If it responded with file not found or any other message you typed it incorrectly.
3. Your tce/optional directory is not mounted, though that sounds unlikely.

Rich,

The command "sudo find / -iname xorg*" gives this response

You do not have Xorg-7.5 installed according to that list.

Rich,

OK now I get:

The file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.vesa does contain the line in the module section that you mention above.

Hi kayjay
I don't run Xorg myself, so you might want to search the forums a little. I think you might have to run
a setup program and copy or rename  xorg.conf.vesa  to  xorg.conf  but I'm not sure.
Try searching for:
xorg.conf.vesa setup
for better information

Rich,

Thanks for your help on this. I was hoping that someone had already tried xine/vlc on this TCL release. I have tried it on several different hardware and none work out of the box so to speak.

Hi kayjay
I did a quick search through the forum, and as a minimum you need to

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.vesa /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Open the file /opt/filetool.lst and add the following line
etc/X11/xorg.conf

Reboot your machine and see if xine runs now.

If this is the fix for the "XVideo missing on display 0:0"." issue you've just made many folks very happy :)

The file /opt/filetool.lst does not exist :(

Hi kayjay
Sorry about that, its a hidden file. Open a terminal and enter

editor /opt/.filetool.lst

I've been following this threead because of a similar issue, but the funny thing is xine-vesa  works great  while xine-ui did not.   when opening xine at the terminal there is a similar error but the apps runs perfectly.

Am not using xorg though so obviously can't find the xorg.conf.vesa file.   If xine-ui needs to be run in an xorg environment (I too had great trouble running it), why no try xine-vesa which will run fine in the default vesa environment??

I load xine-xvesa then launch from a terminal window "xine udp://224.0.6.2:1234" and I get the same XVideo error plus a blank xine window. I also get a message box "These is no demuxer plugin to handle udp://224.0.6.2:1234"
