My second set of problems with video players ;)
I know that xine has always been rather fragile, partly related to
CFLAGS I use in oe of the dependencies - but a year ago those
detined flags made it mostly work. With mov files and some of my
own mkv and (old: fmpeg-0.7!) mp4 conversions it has tended to
stutter (the picture jumps backwards). On downloads they usually
play ok.
With my current (late July build) on my haswell, almost everything
that I try to play in xine crashes at startup. On my machine using
radeon r600, my own mov files crash but everything else plays fine.
On my machien with amdgpu, the mov files from my camera similarly
crash, but everything else plays *until I use the xine control
slider to move forward through the video* (I don't wish to spend
hours looking at the files I'm using for testing). As soon as I
touch the slider, xine crashes.
Looking back at older systems, that behaviour with amdgpu was
present in BLFS-9.1.
I've now reverted the string of packages I mentioned in my post
about parole (but again that has made no difference.
Summary: For me xine (technically xine-ui) crashes on intel igpu,
mostly works on radeon, works on amdgpu if I don't use the controls
and let it play through.
Again, I would be interested to hear of other people's successes.
Note that one or two files (one commercial mov, two commercial wmv)
do work with or without the reverts, other commercial wmv files
crash.
