This could be it: > video_decoder: no plugin available to handle 'Xvid' Fedora's xine-lib doesn't include Xvid support. Re-assigning to xine-lib for confirmation.
Confirmed. There are a few 3rd party repositories around that ship add-on xine-lib packages containing that functionality. But it does strike me a bit odd why xvid would be needed for DVB, I thought it'd be basically all MPEG2. There's no MPEG decoder included in the FE xine-lib either, though.
Very odd - it did work before a recent update, any ideas what caused this change?
I installed FC6 from DVD and at that point it was working. I did the big upgrade and then some other updates and then when I went to use it I got the above problem.
It appears kernel-2.6.19 may be a culprit, on the kaffeine-devel ml, another fc6 user just reported a once-working machine with dvb, stopped after upgrading to kernel-2.6.19.
Thanks, Looking back thru the history I also installed kino from freshrpms which updates a number of related artifacts.
