I've almost ironed out the bugs in my xine install. I get this error with videos dnloaded from youtune: This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.4. (c) 2000-2004 The xine Team. Compiler did not align stack variables. Libavcodec has been miscompiled and may be very slow or crash. This is not a bug in libavcodec, but in the compiler. Do not report crashes to FFmpeg developers. Does anyone have a clue with regards to this? This problem seems to only occur while playing .flv files.
