I just installed on my FC5 (64 bit) distro. The installation went smoothly, but I'm getting an error. I'm posting the screenshot here. Please tell me what it means and how I can correctly.

Thanks in advance

What file are you trying to open? Are all codecs installed?

I get it as soon as I open Xine. I don't know if all the codecs are installed. How do I check it? Doesn't Xine install all the codecs?

No xine doesn't install all the plugins when installed. I don't know much about 64-bit OS's. But have heard that there are some problems with it. Maybe someone will help with that part.

Thanks a lot for the link. I wanted to put a thumbnail, but I didn't know how to do that, So, I posted the whole screenshot there. Please do let me know how to post a thumbnail so that I can avoid that in the future. Also, can you please tell me which video player to use? I installed VLC player, but it closes immediately when I choose a file to play. Should I start a new thread on this or can you guys help me out here itself?

Also issue command 'xine-check' in the terminal and see if that gives anything missing.

For thumbnails upload the pic to some site like imageshack.us and it will give you a link to post in forums, use that.

Here's the output of that command.


Please be patient, this script may take a while to run...

I used an imaging hosting site to hotlink that image which I have posted there. Next time, I'll just post the link :D

Yes, 64 bit distros have perennial problems with multimedia.

Oops!! I thought I could squeeze the juice of my processor with the 64 bit edition as I still can't afford a 64 bit Windows Ed. Too bad. Probably I'll try something from 32 bit stables next time on Linux..

You can install 32-bit Linux. It will work perfectly in a 64-bit Processor. That should solve your multimedia problems.

64-bit computing is a while away still IMO. Maybe about 6 months max.
