I prefer xine as my video player for several reasons but mostly becuase in R6 Internal will not play some of my videos. Anyway when I exit it just hangs and locks up the front end. I have too bring up a terminal and kill the process then it is all good. Any ideas as to why this is happening ????. I am thinking that maybe a workaround is to start it from a script and kill it on exit but not sure if that will work or not.

DVD Playing command (audio passthrough):


Video playing command (2 channel config):

Seems I have found a work around. A few versions ago there was a focus issue I think related a xinelib or something and this may be the case here. Workaround is to prefix your xine command with the following:



Seems to work for me anyways. Finally got my DVD menus back

EDIT: Seems to be still there but very intermittent. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Unhappy to report that this is still an issue. Not sure if anyone else has this problem but it is a real drama for me. I have had to program a button on my remote to "sudo pkill xine" as a work around. Seems to be a focus issue but I have no idea how to resolve this one. Any help would be appreciated. I have read that perhaps irexec could have something to do with it but I have my doubts. This is now the only issue I have with the new system. A few updates have fixed any previous issues and it seems great. Good work everyone involved.

Well not sure what is going on but I did a backup, reinstalled and the problem is noticeable better. Maybe a glitch so fingers crossed.

It seems that this bug only happens when using the LIRC interface to xine. Using the q key on a keyboard never has triggered the bug for me. So to work around the bug I am using irxevent to send the q keypress. Here is what I did in my .lircrc:
Then in .fluxbox/apps I added this:
I would be curious if this avoids the bug for you as well.

Did not try your suggestion but thanks anyways. Did an update yesterday and there was a fluxbox update. This (so far. fingers crossed) seems to have fixed my issue. Maybe something in the window manager was borked but not sure. All good so far and wifey is happy again.
