movie library

[useful]

In the available instructions, libxine2-dev (libvlc-dev for Rpi) is listed as a dependency to make the movie library work. And this is really enough for compilation and linking. But the assembled binary will not work.
It will work if xine(vlc for Rpi) player is additionally installed.
Has anyone investigated other dependencies which are needed for movie to work, so that to install only them and not all in a row (xine* / vlc*)?

[useful]

And why not replace xine with vlc on the x86 platform?

[useful]

And so I'm almost done with xine.
libxine2-dev has only libxine2-bin as a dependency and this is obviously not enough to work, but oddly enough to compile successfully.
You need to additionally install
libxine2.deb and libxine2-x.deb.
After that the video playback starts. !!!
-------------------------------------------
In the console there are warnings about libvdpau...

p.s. Tested on linuxmint-20.3-xfce-64bit

I will probably switch to VLC for all linux, as xine seems outdated now

With Raspberry (Arm32/64) it already runs very well with VLC

Should we expect the transition to VLC in 6.03 or later?

linux Mint 21.2 -xfce-64bit :

sudo apt-get install libxine2
sudo apt-get install libxine2-x
sudo apt-get install libxine2-dev

after that the movies load and starts.
with mp4 still no frame informations, so:

I will probably switch to VLC for all linux, as xine seems outdated now
Later (not in 6.03)

please go , the Movie lib is totaly outdated.
