Public bug reported:
After the codecs dir changes, or sometimes after xine crashes, xine
can't play xvid, divx, etc. videos anymore. The reason seems to be that
~/.xine/catalog.cache has become outdated and/or corrupted. This is
easily fixed by deleting ~/.xine/catalog.cache, but few people know
this. (Even though I knew this I didn't remember it when xine stopped
working when I upgraded feisty to gutsy, so I spent over an hour looking
for a fix before I remembered what I needed to do to fix it.)
To fix this bug two things has to be done:
1) Make sure that ~/.xine/catalog.cache never becomes outdate/corrupted.
2) When ~/.xine/catalog.cache becomes outdate/corrupted (and it will, despite
#1 above) then notice this fact and automatically re-create the file.
** Affects: xine-lib (Ubuntu)
