Description of problem: After updating to xine-lib-1.1.2-17.fc6, running xine (from Freshrpms) gives the error -xine engine error- There is no demuxer plugin available to handle `file:/usr/share/xine/skins/xine-ui_logo.mpv'. Usually this means that the file format was not recognized. Then xine comes up but several of the buttons are unlabeled and nonfunctional. Unfortunately, the original version 1.1.2-2.fc6 has been deleted from the server so I can't downgrade back to it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xine-lib-1.1.2-17.fc6 How reproducible: always
It looks like the original version of xine-lib was installed from Freshrpms on October 24, and is not available from there any more, although the information page still is. It appears that xine-lib has just been moved to Extras, but the rest of the xine-related packages are still in Freshrpms. Resolving this bug will require cooperation between the two repos.
Matthias, any idea how to fix this ? Should I add something to FE's xine-lib to make it behave better with 3rd party repos ?
This is actually "fixable" only on my end : My xine package contains a non-default "splash animation" which is actually an MPEG... so with only the xine-lib from Extras, it no longer works. Proper fix for now, since I've released xine-lib-extras packages on freshrpms : Add a requirement for xine-lib-extras in my xine package. If/when someone gets xine into Extras directly, this problem will go away, but that splash animation won't be usable directly. Options will be reverting to some static image, or trying to convert it to a format which is readable by the Extras xine-lib. Closing as NOTABUG since this needs to be fixed in a freshrpms package, not in Extras ;-)
Verified that after installing xine-lib-extras, the problem goes away. Thanks.
