Re: Problems_instantiating_custom_plugin

Hello Tony,

I dont know whether this will help, maybe you try.

xine-lib installs differnt versions in parallel:

/usr/local/lib/xine/plugins/1.29/
/usr/local/lib/xine/plugins/1.30/
/usr/local/lib/libxine.so -> libxine.so.1.30.1
/usr/local/lib/libxine.so.1 -> libxine.so.1.30.1
/usr/local/lib/libxine.so.1.29.0
/usr/local/lib/libxine.so.1.30.1

Applications open the link which usually points to the
latest version.

However, libxine.so then tries to load _all_ found
plugins starting with the oldest (theoretically)
compatible version. This causes 2 problems:

* Maximum plugin count is reached before the newest items
  are loaded. (Say "xine --verbose=2" to trace.)

* Older plugin binaries dont necessarily work well with
  new libxine.

Try moving aside all but the latest plugin dirs:

/usr/local/lib/xine/1.29/
/usr/local/lib/xine/plugins/1.30/

and restart application.

If now everything works, you can safely delete those
old dirs/files.

General note:

I wish xine-devel was more like xorg-devel.
Whenever someone there has a problem, there will be a
short but vivid discussion, and after a few days the
issue is fixed...

My personal excuse is not having internet at home ;-)
