Re: [PLUG] Playing AVI automatically on startup
Hi guys, Thanks for all your help - I got yum to work by adding many rpm repositories to its cache. So Xine works now. As for starting the AVI when the computer boots up, I got gdm to login without a username and password. Then I used gnome-session-properties to add xine -f AVSEQ01.dat to the startup items and init 6ed. Worked like a charm. EMovix is good - but with this setup I can also use the machine remotely. I guess everyone here reads slashdot, which is where I saw another cool LiveCD for multimedia: http://www.mediainlinux.org Thanks! -- Nikhil Karkare Co-Ordinator / Senior Software Engineer Millennium National School Karvenagar, Pune http://www.myshala.com -- - vi vi vi - The Editor of the Beast - -- __ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/mailing-list/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.

Hello Nikhil, Nikhil Karkare wrote: Hi, The subject might sound senseless, but I was at a loss of words for the subject! :-) 1. I am trying to set up a Linux box (FC3) which will be used just to play a demo AVI that I have made. I need to configure it so that when it starts up, it automatically starts playing the AVI - without logging in, or running anything. Sounds like you need movix. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMoviX : -- eMoviX is a small bootable version of Linux, similar to Knoppix, that, when booted will automatically start playing all the video files stored in the root directory. eMoviX only occupies about 8 megabytes of space of the CD/DVD leaving the rest for video files. The video is played by a program call MPlayer, a popular open source movie player. EMoviX supports all the video formats the MPlayer does; this includes DivX, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, WMV and RealVideo, among others. Subtitles are also supported. EMoviX will boot on computers that support x86 and has at least 36 megabytes of RAM. Creating an eMoviX CD/DVD can be done with software such as MoviXMaker-2 or K3b. -- Here is the home page, unfortunately, it seems as though it is going through an upgrade: http://movix.sourceforge.net/ Now, isn't yum supposed to get the missing depencies itself? Umm ...ehe ..yes it is. Actually the problem with Red Hat / fedora packages is that there are way too many packagers and eventually, the dependency resolution boils down to how well the package creator described the dependencies. By the way, have you considered using Mandrake ? One of the MAIN reasons I use Mandr(ake/)iva is because of urpmi, tool similar to yum but wy cooler. I can elaborate on that if anyone is interested.

[PLUG] Playing AVI automatically on startup
Hi, The subject might sound senseless, but I was at a loss of words for the subject! :-) 1. I am trying to set up a Linux box (FC3) which will be used just to play a demo AVI that I have made. I need to configure it so that when it starts up, it automatically starts playing the AVI - without logging in, or running anything. 2. If that isnt possible, then I can manage to ssh into the machine, and then do the following: export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 xhost + gmplayer demo.avi Now the problem is this: I dont know how to do 1. and cant get 2. to work! I tried configuring VNC server, but it wont listen on display:0. Step 2 works fine on display:1 (where VNS server is installed). Is there a way out? Secondly, I want to install xine on my system, and want yum to get the necessary dependencies etc etc and install them. I have tried multiple things, but yum wont find xine. I have downloaded the xine rpm and ran: yum install xine-0.99.3-4.1.fc3.i386.rpm This gave me: ++START++ Setting up Install Process Setting up Repo: extras repomd.xml100% |=| 951 B00:00 Setting up Repo: base http://ftp.rhnet.is/pub/fedora/3/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. repomd.xml100% |=| 1.1 kB00:00 Setting up Repo: updates-released repomd.xml100% |=| 951 B00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files extras: ## 1952/1952 base : ## 2622/2622 updates-re: ## 958/958 Examining xine-0.99.3-4.1.fc3.i386.rpm: xine - 0.99.3-4.1.fc3.i386 Marking xine-0.99.3-4.1.fc3.i386.rpm to be installed Resolving Dependencies -- Populating transaction set with selected packages.
