Odd... if *more* than just gxine is showing this, check your hardware. > Among them the already described "settings dialogue on every startup". Before starting gxine, edit ~/.gxine/config: look for "misc.wizards_shown", remove the # at the start of the line and change the number to 6. > There were more than 2 different problems when playing NBC Giga from > Germany at this address: > mms://giga.streamed.by.ngz-server.de.esl-tv.net/GIGA > This stream used to work fine in the old version.

Check also your Windows codec .dlls - wmvdmod.dll is needed for that stream, and I don't have it installed. > One more example would be that the screen goes dark every time you adjusts > the volume with the mouse.

All that I can say is "doesn't happen here". > Often times gxine does not "find an audio device" when alsa is fine and no > other app is complaining. gxine doesn't care what the audio device is. That's a matter for libxine1. > If you don't plan on uploading the old version please tell me where I can > get it. /usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE/copyright should tell you (and in gxine's case, it does). Of course, if you find that problems are now happening with 0.4.8 (or 0.4.9) then you're going to have to start looking elsewhere. :-) -- | Darren Salt | linux or ds at | nr.
