Tipically I use xine engine with totem, instead of gstreamer.
You can do:
yum install totem-xine
then you can use totem-backend to verify if setting xine as backend
solves the problem and eventually set it as the default engine for
totem.
[gcecchi@tekkaman ~]$ totem-backend --help
Error: No backend name passed.
Usage:
- As root, to set the default backend, system-wide:
/usr/bin/totem-backend -b <backend name>
- As a normal user, to run a program with a specific backend:
/usr/bin/totem-backend -b <backend name> <program name>
[program options...]
- "backend name" is one of gstreamer or xine
- "program name" is one of totem, totem-audio-preview,
totem-video-indexer or totem-video-thumbnailer
In totem gui you see the engine with
Help --> About
and with xine set you get in the window:
Movie Player using xine-lib version 1.1.16.1

IPv6 and localhost
by Allen Kistler
Why give each address family a name unique to its respective loopback
address? Here's how the question occurs to me:
/etc/hosts on Fedora and Red Hat defines localhost as 127.0.0.1 and
localhost6 as ::1 (at least it has since about FC6, sort of according to
BZ#211800).
"ssh -X" automatically defines DISPLAY as localhost:10.0 on the remote
system.
The port (6010) on the remote system is on ::1 (localhost6, as defined),
not 127.0.0.1 (localhost, as defined) when sshd_config specifies
AddressFamily as inet6.
Without redefining DISPLAY, I get the error "cannot open display:
localhost:10.0" when I try to start an X app. I can redefine DISPLAY as
localhost6:10.0 to work around it, but a better solution seems to be to
change /etc/hosts to something like ...
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost4
::1 localhost localhost6
... which is what Gentoo appears to do. (Those who know Gentoo at all
can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.) Also I'm not entirely
convinced the localhost6 and localhost4 names are required, but they
might be handy in some cases.
There's an assertion in BZ#211800 that defining both 127.0.0.1 and ::1
as localhost breaks some things, but doesn't say what things. Well,
*not* defining both as localhost breaks things. (Mostly the bugs in
BZ#211800 seem to be about programs that _change_ /etc/hosts getting
confused if there are both defined.)
So the question really is: Is there a reason localhost is not both the
IPv4 loopback and the IPv6 loopback (*other* than hiding some bugs in
some programs)? Or should Fedora (and eventually Red Hat) change the
default /etc/hosts shipped/created with anaconda?
As more people implement IPv6, I'd suspect similar errors to show up.
FWIW, I've tested defining both loopbacks as localhost on a few boxes
with a few things on each (including inet/inet6/any for the sshd
AddressFamily). I haven't found anything that breaks, yet.

Linksys WVC54GCA camera, anyone?
by Timothy Murphy
I have a couple of these Linksys
"Wireless-G Internet Home Monitoring Camera"s
which I'm trying to install on my Fedora network.
I'm using a Linksys WRT54GL router (running Linux dd-wrt)
with 64-bit WEP encryption.
(I know the supposed dangers of this,
but one of the laptops in use does not seem to support WPA.)
Anyway, the camera comes with a Windows Setup CD.
The setup program does not seem to work with WEP.
(It works fine if encryption is disabled.)
So I was wondering if by chance there is any way
of setting up this camera under Linux, in particular Fedora?

CImg-1.2.9 compiling problems

FC 10
I'm trying to compile CImg and it doesn't want to compile.
[root@dell8600 examples]# make linux
make "ARCHFLAGS=-Dcimg_use_vt100 -I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib
-lX11 -Dcimg_use_xshm -lXext -Dcimg_use_xrandr -lXrandr "

`/home/jim/Download/CImg-1.2.9/examples'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for
`all'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jim/Download/CImg-1.2.9/examples'
But when I try to compile WxCam it can't compile because it depends on CImg
Has anyone tried to compile CImg ??

System equalizer for pulseaudio?
by Reid Rivenburgh
Hi. I think I have my system (F10 on x86_64) working pretty well with
pulseaudio now. Sound seems to work with flash, amarok, rhythmbox,
etc. I added a few lines to my .asoundrc that I believe tell ALSA
apps to use pulseaudio, so I think everything should be routed through
pulseaudio. The only thing I'd like to be able to do now is apply
equalization to the pulse output. I have a pretty bass-heavy set of
speakers, so I'd like to tone down the low end. Does anyone have any
experience or wisdom in doing this? I've seen references to adding
other entries to .asoundrc, but I assume that would only affect ALSA
apps. A GUI tool would be ideal (if it remembered settings), but I'm
not afraid to fire up vi!
Thanks,
reid

Service to run user-owned init scripts at boot time?
by Christian Kreibich
Hi all,
I am looking for a service that lets regular users place scripts in a
well defined location, say somewhere in their home directory, so that
those scripts will be executed with the respective user's permissions at
system boot time (note, I don't mean user login time). I was wondering
whether Fedora provides a package that'll provide this so I don't have
to set up a solution myself. Thanks...
