Subject basically says it. I can start xine (either xine-ui or gxine) when my laptop is connected, but when I'm not, it starts and then stops with
Code: Select all
ERROR: Could not determine network interfaces, you must use a interfaces config line

Try commenting out everything having to do with CDDB in ~/.xine/config and see if that helps.

Nope, that didn't seem to do anything, but thanks for the advice.

I fixed it. I had stopped network services in the startup because I was using laptop-net. I hated waiting while the DHCP thing failed. So instead, I just changed the network config to only start the local network.
Still don't know why xine needs a network running.

xine can do lookups accross network for fileshares and also can use CDDB off the net...i also beleive there are codec downloads also soon to be seen...
why it looks to see if the interfaces are up on boot is a little unusual but may well be a quirk of the way it's programmed....i suggest asking Xine Irc/forums...
