Why not post `emerge -pv xine-ui`?  I would be interested
in the use flags.

OK here it is, as well as the output for xine-lib.

These programs appear to be compiled with different use flags.  For
example, xine-lib has xinerama but xine-ui doesn't.  I don't think it's
likely for that to be the root of the problem, but I wonder whether
support isn't missing in another dependancy.  May I suggest you examine
the output of emerge -pvN world to see whether anything needs to be
recompiled for the new use flags?

It seems you did not look correctly, both have -xinerama useflags. I see no 
difference. And I did a complete emerge -e xine-lib so everything it depends 
on should be fine, right?

Yes, sorry.  The '-' was on the previous line, and in my post-waking
grogginess I must have missed it.  Furthermore, your -e emerge is
certainly a good way of being sure.  

I take it this happens with videos that used to play?

Well the layout is really bad, but kmail did not let me change it.
Yes sure, tried a DVD today, with the same problem, screen stays blue, sound 
works fine.

[gentoo-user] Still video problem was: Videos not playing anymore

[Christian Herzyk]

Hi,

I still have the same problem:
videos that I want to play with xine (or similar viewers) do not show anymore.  
In xine the screen stays blue and I just hear the sound of the videos.
If I change the video driver from xv to opengl I get some moving stripes 
coresponding to the main colors in the video but nothing more.
I reinstalled everything related to video playback, but no change.
Playing videos from youtube etc. work, realplay stays black as well.

Is there really none that has any idea what the problem might be?

Thanks

Christian
