GStreamer should have priority:
/usr/sbin/alternatives --install %{_libdir}/libbaconvideowidget.so.0.0.0
totem-backend %{_libdir}/libbaconvideowidget-gstreamer.so.0.0.0 2
compared to:
/usr/sbin/alternatives --install %{_libdir}/libbaconvideowidget.so.0.0.0
totem-backend %{_libdir}/libbaconvideowidget-xine.so.0.0.0 1
Did you upgrade from an earlier F9 test, or rawhide to a full F9?
Because the two backends play nice now in F9, the totem-backend tool can be used to change priorities: # su - # totem-backend -b xine Or to change the backend for a single run (this does not require root privileges): # totem-backend -b xine totem Thank you, Stewart! That works. Bastien, I made a clean install. I am not the only one who had problems enabling the xine engine in F9: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=188586 It would be much easier to users if it could be available to choose from Totem's menu (grayed out when totem-xine is not installed or added after totem-xine installation for example). Then it would be also easier to switch between the GStreamer and xine engine. At the moment the information how to enable the xine engine will be available only on how-to sites. Oh right. I misunderstood the problem. Note that "how to" enable the xine backend is explained in the release notes... which nobody reads, ever. http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f9/en_US/sn-Multimedia.html#sn-Multimedia-Players Feel free to point people to it. I also sent a mail to fedorafaq.org some time ago about this, but they haven't updated for Fedora 9 yet. I read it, but not through as it is too long. My bad. Sorry for that. Thank you for pointing it out. I still think that this method is not visible to users, but it seems to be already discussed: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/Issue105#head-540aea95670a0eda7b830ed6e66004344dcbf99b Good luck! |
