Hi ttuuxxx

I made a pet of xine-ui-0.99.6.tar.bz2 in
214X top5.
I had to compile ffmpeg-0.6.1.tar.bz2 and
xine-lib-1.1.19.tar.bz2 to get it to compile but
when I rebooted with pfix=ram to test the pet
without the devx loaded all I had to use was
the xine-ui-0.99.6-i486.pet and it worked.

I couldn't get it to create a menu entry so it
has to be started with the run command on
the menu with the 'run in terminal box ticked'
or just by entering xine in the terminal.

It plays dvd movies and audio cds, also mp3
and ogg files.

@sheldonisaac- thanks, but I suspect it's that "User Agent" thingy. Possibly the ISP doesn't recognise Firefox 4.

Hi Bill, I also compiled Xine-Ui and I didn't need to compile ffmpeg,libxine, nothing at all, just the Ui, anyways then I changed and compressed the theme, I changed the splash screen, I ditched the mimes, because they aren't needed, we already have mimes for the defaultmediaplayer etc. I ditched the sample video and replaced it with a system to puppy's video examples, I also changed the icons for better and smaller ones including some system links and made a .desktop for it.
It really does reduce the overall size Smile

and looks better Smile

Hi Bill

I see why you needed to compile ffmpeg Smile

Xine-ui is a front-end to libxine, 2.14X has Gxine which is frontend to lib-xine, there is no need to compile libxine to compile Xine-ui because its already included in 2.14X Smile

but if you did compile the latest libxine, then it would call for the latest ffmpeg.

Hi sheldonisaac have you tried the opera pet I made? Also has anyone else tried it yet? I did spend most of the day on it, a little feedback would be nice, lol

Hi sheldonisaac I never use sfs for any single files,I always use pets, sfs are great for the main iso and well that's where it ends for myself, I even convert the devx to a pet and install it that way. There is no reason at all to use a sfs for a 9MB application, larger apps like OpenOffice ya sure.
sfs compress files better than pets, around 20% +, so its a savings, but when they are only 9MB, really it doesn't matter all that much.
