The problem with gxine is that command line parameter "-f" doesn't work trough my .xsession script. I think I got a full screen mode but no video (black screen, I don't remember what happened to audio). Gxine also seems to require a window manager so I started metacity as well. This same .xsession script works without "-f" for gxine. Similar script works with xine-ui and it doesn't require a window manager. Gxine has a very nice user interface, it would be good if this could be corrected. The versions I tested were about two weeks old cvs versions of libxine and gxine. Here is my .xsession -- #!/bin/sh ## Start a window manager /usr/bin/metacity & ## TV-out setttings /usr/bin/nvidia-settings -l ## Run Gxine in fullscreen mode /usr/local/bin/gxine -f -S -V xv -A alsa vdr:/tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes ## Run xine in fullscreen mode #/usr/local/bin/xine --no-splash --hide-gui --fullscreen -V xv -A alsa vdr:/tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes -- Best regards, Seppo
