<div dir="ltr">Following your instruction, I entered 'xine' to the find box and this is what it found, regarding February: Commit Log for Fri Feb 27 10:48:41 2009 Installed the following packages: libxine1-all-plugins (1.1.11.1-1ubuntu3.2) libxine1-gnome (1.1.11.1-1ubuntu3.2) libxine1-plugins (1.1.11.1-1ubuntu3.2) xine-ui (0.99.5+cvs20070914-2) I have re-installed these packages after purging them as part of the debugging process. My last major upgrade happened on Thu Jul 17 22:42:56 2008, and was able to play MP3 files since then... In between I have installed the Fluendo Streaming Server package. I think that's what messed things up for me... Any other ideas? Thanks! .:====================================================:.
