Code: Select all

Error Loading Media
No suitable demux plugin. This often means that the file format is not supported.

been reading loads of comments on this issue, but in general they say to reinstall "libxine1-ffmpeg", but this doesnt work for me.. any clues?

You also need libogg.

Can you play oggs using xine only (e.g. xine somefile.ogg)?

Check /usr/lib/xine/plugins//
and check for files
xineplug_dmx_ogg.so and xineplug_decode_vorbis.so
(if your distribution should use another directory to store these, try to find the files above using locate or find)

If the files do not exist, than your xine lacks built-in vorbis support.

hehe. ok this was one funny thing. actually xine didn't play it either. so i tried another ogg file (Not the ones bundled with kde) and voila... it's working

one big thx for support and one big boo to KDE, which bundles unreadable oggs
