Forcing totem to use xine backend

[Paul Smith]

Dear All,

I have

$ rpm -qi totem-xine
Name        : totem-xine                   Relocations: (not relocatable)

Summary     : Xine backend for Totem
Description :
This package provides the xine backend for the Totem media player.
$

However, when I run totem, I get in totem's Help --> About:

Movie Player using GStreamer 0.10.19 and GNOME

How can I force totem to use Xine backend?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

I believe you need to run this command:

totem -b xine

Hope this helps,

Jon

Thanks, Jon, but

$ totem -b xine
Unknown option -b
Run 'totem --help' to see a full list of available command line options.

As Rahul's link states:

totem-backend -b xine (as root)

You forgot -backend

See above

This is installed by default in Fedora 9.

You should have asked for clarification of Rahul's link if you didn't
understand why he was showing it to you, Paul.

Thanks, Francis. I understood immediately Rahul's point.

Alright, apologies, I was trying to understand why you'd continued to
respond as though you hadn't figure it out yet...

Hope everything else is fine for you with Fedora :)

Look, Francis:

"Thanks a lot, Rahul. The problem is now solved, thanks to your help."

Did you misread "now"  with "not"?

Ahh, I just didn't read that reply, I was just wondering why you'd
responded to others like saying totem -b returned it wasn't an
option...

Again, I'm sorry.
