Unable to play videos on Fedora - jccheng - 2009-03-27
I'm running XBMC 8.10 (installed RPM from http://fedorajunkies.com/index.php/XBMC) on Fedora 9 i386. When I try to play a video, it fails with:
Error
Playlist playback aborted
Too many consecutive failed items
Looking at the log, I find:
ERROR: Unable to load /usr/share/xbmc/system/players/dvdplayer/avutil-51-i486-linux.so, reason: /usr/share/xbmc/system/players/dvdplayer/avutil-51-i486-linux.so: undefined symbol: __wrap___fprintf_chk
ERROR: CDVDDemuxFFmpeg::Open - failed to load ffmpeg libraries
ERROR: OpenDemuxStream - Error creating demuxer
I've tried compiling from source, but haven't had any luck... the configure script fails to find -lmysqlclient even though it is installed.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

To compile from source there is a symlink you need to create for mysql

Thanks for the help. I was able to compile it from source, but unfortunately I'm still getting the same error when trying to play videos.

Are there any news? This problem prevents the use of XBMC on Fedora.
Same problem with latest XBMC and Fedora11, rpm from fedorajunkies (same problem with self-compiled packages):

I'm able to play videos with the built-in video player if I compile from svn. There is also an external player feature so that you can use mplayer, xine, vlc, etc.

Thanks for the news! I'll try :-)

I compiled svn code, and now built-in player works well!
However, I did not find the external player feature in the UI. For me, it will be very useful, because for some material I need the mplayer feature to delay (negative or positive) subtitles (which I linked to a key on the remote), which is not presente in the built-in player.
Can you point me to this feature? Thanks

I just followed the directions from http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HOW-TO_use_an_External_Player_for_media_playback (specifically the "playercorefactory.xml method" section).
Hope that helps!
