Mageia forum

I'm new to Mageia, but have used ubuntu for about 10 years before making the switch. My primary source of entertainment is XBMC, but I have had tons of problems with it since switching to Mageia. After reinstalling the OS so many times because of black screen from XBMC, I finally got it to update and work last week, but there was no audio, so I googled around and found a post with a similar problem. After reading that post, I enabled the sources mentioned in it, and installed a lot of the gstreamer packages, but alas, many videos with audio codecs AAC 2.0 and 5.0 do not have sound. A few do, so I don't really know hat is happening.

Maybe there are other packages that I haven't installed, but I really don't know. Coud someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Can you please show the output of

Code: Select all: rpm -q xbmc rpm -qa | grep -c tainted urpmi --auto-update --test

Last command needs to be run as root.

And in general, are there other media players on your box where AAC is working? E.g. vlc ?

For the audio problem which you fixed by enabling some sources, could you please provide some more details on that,
or a link to the post which you refer to? The same (more details please) regarding the black screen issue, which seems to be the cause for a lot of reinstallations.
Maybe that can help to understand your issue better.

It's working on other occasion, such as on VLC and on SMplayer.

The post that I followed.

As for the black screen, the first thing I did after installing the OS was to install xbmc. After installing xbmc, I enabled Fusion and Live TV, but upon clicking exit, xbmc froze on each occasion and it was impossible to close to close it using the X also.

After restarting the pc and starting xbmc, I got black screen. I also found out that xbmc wasn't updating. So after reinstalling the OS and xbmc last week, I decided to wait for it to update before enabling anything, and surprisingly, it updated after the updates freezing for about an hour or so and worked well, save for the AAC audio issue on some videos and TV stations.
