 Post subject: Mplayer VS Xine

I am running RD51. I have found that Xine is a bit smarter when it comes to finding the audio tracks for ripped DVD's. It also seems to play the surround sound correctly. I couldn't believe the difference it made sound wise.

My questions is simple. Right now myth and my remote is setup to use mplayer to view ripped DVD's. When I change my player settings to use xine rather than mplayer, the only thing on the remote that works for watching ripped movies is Play and Pause. (FFW, Skip ahead, Stop etc.) do not work any more.

What file needs to be edited, and where do I find the commands needed to incorporate Xine?

/home/mythtv/.lircrc is the file (I am pretty sure), but the particulars will be different depending on what remote you have. If you look and see how mplayer is set up you should be able to do similar things with xine.

Thanks for the quick reply. I seemed to answer my own question before you posted. I do that a lot. Somehow I found the lircrc file.lol

Any way, this is what I did for a Hauppage DogBone remote:

Code:
#Mplayer Section

# Show OSD
begin
prog = xine
button = Menu/i
repeat = 3
config = rootmenu
end

# Mute
begin
prog = mplayer
button = MUTE
repeat = 3
config = mute
end

# Quit
begin
prog = mplayer
button = BACK/EXIT
repeat = 3
config = quit
end

begin
prog = mplayer
button = VOL-
repeat = 3
config = volume -1
end

begin
prog = mplayer
button = VOL+
repeat = 3
config = volume 1
end

# Pause playback
begin
prog = mplayer
button = PAUSE
repeat = 3
config = pause
end

# Skip ahead a minute if playing
# If paused, resume playing
begin
prog = mplayer
button = PLAY
repeat = 3
config = seek +1
end

# Stop playback and exit
begin
prog = xine
button = STOP
repeat = 3
config = stop
end

begin
prog = xine
button = Forward
repeat = 3
config = SeekRelative+15
end

begin
prog = xine
button = Rewind
repeat = 3
config = SeekRelative-15
end

begin
prog = xine
button = SkipForward
repeat = 3
config = SeekRelative+60
end

begin
prog = xine
button = Replay/SkipBackward
repeat = 3
config = SeekRelative-60
end


begin
prog = xine
button = BLUE
repeat = 3
config = zoomout
end

begin
prog = xine
button = YELLOW
repeat = 3
config = zoomin
end

## Messed up Previous Channel, Menu, FFW, RRW, SKIP, REPLAY


The only problem that I see so far is for the FFD and RWD. The least that it can go is in increments of 15. It works, but not as well as the mplayer's seek 10 or seek -10. But I think I can live with it.

BTW, the sound is unbeliveable. Maybe I never setup Mplayer to work with DTS and or AC3. But Xine seems to work right out of the box.

Thanks ceenvee703 for you hasty reply. Maybe this post will help someone else out too.

If I'm no longer using Mplayer, do I need that?

no that is only if you are using mplayer and wanted better sound.
