[gentoo-user] xine - No sound after updates

[gentoo-user] xine - No sound after updates

[Mark Knecht]

Hello,
   I looked around in Bugzilla and as well as the forums but didn't
spot anything.

   I am updating all my machines here to get into sync with required
MythTV changes. Along the way that meant emerge -DuN world. Everything
is done and clean. In testing two machines I find neither has any
sound in xine any more. Has anyone else seen this?

   I see nothing in a terminal when running it. Terminal info is
pasted below. I have seen messages when starting a moving about not
having a required AC3 codec, which I suppose is somewhere in
win32codecs which is installed.

   Here are the current flag settings. I'm wondering if there was a
flag change that I didn't catch? What are -a52 and -aac?

   I do not know if win32codecs has been rebuilt so maybe I'll do that next.

   I'm hoping maybe I missed a thread somewhere that has some info on this.

Thanks in advance,
Mark

This page is for MPlayer, but the flags should have similar meanings:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Emerge_MPlayer

Notice that it says a52 is needed for AC3.  Hope this helps!

Thanks Randy. That was it. DVDs play nicely again.

Randy,
   It seems I spoke too soon. Both machines had problems. I did the
update on my Gentoo AMD64. It worked and I responded to your email.
I've now done the flag change on the x86 but it still refuses to
provide sound for movies.

   I notice looking at the flags that the x86 is using win32codecs
while the AMD64 isn't so I rebuilt the x86 without win32codec support.
Unfortunately it didn't fix the problem on that box.

   I've copied the current flag sets below. Any other ideas are appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

   For the AMD64:

Hey Mark!  Hmmm, one thought that comes to mind is that perhaps there
are some other important packages that depend on a52 and aac.  Did you
try to emerge --update --deep --newuse world after adding those USE
flags?  If you call xine from the console, do you see any linking errors
(indication that perhaps revdep-rebuild is in order)?  Let us know if
you've done these things and still have a problem, and we'll keep going
at it!

Hi Randy,
   Yes, I think I've done all the stuff one would typically try before
writing to the list. Doesn't mean I didn't make a mistake though.
Shown below is the terminal info as well as emerge -DuN with and
without --with-bdeps, and revdep-rebuild results. I have multiple
times tried erasing the .xine directory and coming at it like a new
user, trying different options inside of xine but so far no luck.

   Googling around a bit I found a few threads talking about no sound
when they have the "No accelerated IMDCT transform found" message at
the end of the terminal. For instance this one which hasn't led
anywhere yet:

http://trac.cod3r.com/a52codec/ticket/9

   Lots of info posted below.

Thanks much,
Mark

Hmm, Does it show any error messages when you try to play a media file?
 Does it happen with all kinds of media (mp3's, DVD's, flash) or just
with certain types?

So far I have no other errors. Aqualung plays audio files. MythTV
works fine. mplayer seems to work, at least for audio files. xine is
the only DVD application we use so it's special in that sense. I could
try something else, I suppose. Not anxious to do that though.

So far it seems like a xine problem. I'll look into dropping back a
rev tomorrow if you or someone else doesn't have an idea which way I
should go.

Thanks,
Mark

It is starting to sound like an xine specific problem, and I'm honestly
not too familiar with xine.  I use mplayer for everything pretty much,
but also I don't usually use the computer to play DVDs.  Can anybody
else help?

I'd suggest trying a different DVD player, so see whether the problem is
isolated to xine or affects the rest (which would suggest a library
problem). Try mplayer or mythdvd and see what happens.

Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others.

I am not sure why you are getting all these libdvdread messages.  They don't 
come up on mine when I launch xine from a terminal (unless you are trying to 
play a DVD at the time - which I did not try).  You could try rebuilding it in 
case some library linkage is borked (and revdep-rebuild fails to pick it up):

# emerge -aDv media-libs/libdvdread

BTW. win32codecs are necessary to play wmf and other types of files, so I 
would always set this flag On, just like you show in your emerge --info.  Make 
sure that there is no package.use settings negating this.

Hi Randy,
   Yes, as I stated at the outset all the other audio applications I
use on this machine seem to be working fine. Only xine seems to be
having trouble. I should try xine with a CD and see what that does.

   Based on your and Neil's suggestions I looked at gmplayer. This is
my wife's machine and she'll want something gui based. Anyway, I had
to rebuild it to include a52 and dts support. Once I did that I am
able to play 'Almost Famous' fine. Audio works. I'm pasting the
complete gmplayer terminal info below as it may be helpful in figuring
out where xine is going wrong.

   The highlights of what I read from the gmplayer data is that it
chose DTS since that's on the fist audio stream. I'll look around for
how to run xine with more options so that I Can see what xine is
choosing but I tried to play the same movie first changing which audio
I wanted and still got no sound in xine. I notice below that their are
two choices made on DTS - afm and vfm.

   I'll look into getting the same sort of debug info on xine and
report that back later.

   At least my wife can play DVDs again with a little training. Thanks!

Thanks,
Mark
