    I installed xine Correctly But still cant play videos.

    I have fedora core 4 and installed xine-lib correctly on my puter. I still can not view mpeg video files.. any ideas on mabye I did it wrong?

    this is what I did inside the xine-lib folder I had downloaded
    Code:
    make
make install
make clean
    And everything did what it was supposed to. I got no errors that I could see.

    Xine requires three things to properly run and play certain common MS Windows formats:

    xine-lib - which you have
    xine-ui - the user interface. Without this you cannot run xine.
    win32codecs - the codec packages that allow you to playback certain formats.

    Do you have all of the above?

    You should look into using yum to install packages: http://fedoranews.org/tchung/howto/2...um-intro.shtml

    It is a package manager which will download and install packages (along with its dependencies for you).
