This got me puzzled.
Real video recently broke (I think it worked) in my FreeBSD/i386 Xine.
It still works in mplayer and they both use the same binary codecs.
%%
I have xine and mplayer set up in FreeBSD and Linux. I use the same
binary codecs and the same libxine version.
FreeBSD/xine doesn't work, the other three combinations work.
The video in question plays through this stack of software layers in
all 4 players:
- libxine.../src/input/libreal/*.c [FreeBSD or Linux native file compiled into xine]
- binary codec drv4.so.6.0
- binary codec drvc.so
I have verified with verbose output and `ls -ltruT` that the Linux and
FreeBSD xines both access these same codecs and the md5s on both
machines are the same.
drv4.so.6.0 is a Linux file, but it is supposed to work under
FreeBSD. I am mostly positive that this worked before some recent
upgrades (6.x -> 7.x and general ports upgrade).
But the real trick is that FreeBSD's mplayer works, using this *.so
file.
The video in question is public domain, I can make it available to
whoever is interested.

More details:
Here's xine verbose on FreeBSD:
gui_xine_open_and_play():
mrl: '/tmp/Rabaulal19656.rm',
sub 'NONE',
start_pos 0, start_time 0, av_offset 0, spu_offset 0.
xine: found input plugin : file input plugin
xine: found demuxer plugin: RealMedia file demux plugin
demux_real: buf type 0x03210000 frame size 2304 block align 32
video_decoder: no plugin available to handle 'Real Video 4.0'
---------------------- (ERROR) ----------------------
A problem occur while loading a library or a decoder: drvc.soffmpeg_audio_dec: increasing buffer to 98304 to avoid overflow.
------------------ (END OF ERROR) -------------------
The error message seems to be related to audio, not video. But the
working Linux/i386 does not display the same message for this video.
Here's the working Linux output:
gui_xine_open_and_play():
