Fedora core 4, default desktop install that includes the totem media player launchable from one of the pull down menus.. Plays a selected known good avi file/s/ to test and the screen looks like a fractal display with coloured lights and circular swatches of colour that resembles a circular saw... (Audio is fine) The docs say that totem is a front end for xine but I don't see xine anywhere in the apps... A Web lookup said to use totem-xine, but that's not in evidence either in the installation or installation DVD... I can only conclude that xine is included with the default totem package.. Nothing I do seems to change anything.. I invoked totem from a terminal command line and got the following report that I don't understand.. Running that started the viewing window and ran the avi file just like a mouse click: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (totem:4011): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gsignal.c:1719: signal ** `got-redirect' is invalid for instance `0x9b84e90' Message: don't ** know how to handle EMPTY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I found several sites on the web with a totem version earlier than the one bundled, all for Fedora core 3, not 4... I invoked ldd totem and found no missing dependencies... I'm stuck.. Any suggestions or words of wisdom?? TIA..
