after installing the xine-plugin to the plugins directory of the browser (mozilla or mozilla-firefox) the browser do not open. In other words, it crash. This behavior only happened when the xine-plugin is installed and only if the browser runs under xfce, gnome 2.6 is unnafected by this problem. Also, while konqueror loads, it crash when try to preview a movie

in other words, all browsers behave erratically with this pluggin, but only under Xfce. On other desktops, the browsers work without problems.
If the browser crashes, it's a bug in the browser or the plugin. You'll have hard time convincing me the problem lies in xfce (especially because I do run gxine with mozilla myself) edited on: 04-21 20:19
These are RPMS, please use packages for you system...
Anyway, I'm compiling to se if I can reproduce your problem.
Does it work if you run just "xine" (ie w/out the plugin)?
I4ve been able to reproduce a crash and get a backtrace, it *really
Same exact problem with metacity 2.8.0 (from gnome-2.6); it's really not related to xfce.
Sorry, it's not a bug in xfce as the backtrace shows and BTW I can reproduce the problem in metacity from gnome 2.6 Possibly a race cond in libxine or in the xine plugin for mozilla, that could explain why it shows more often under xfce (maybe, I don't know the root cause, but I'm pretty sure it's not xfce) Olivier.
Closed.
Moving invalid bugs to the /dev/null product.
