Hi, thanks for reporting this bug.

Note that xine has also a tainted version.
Do you have installed this version?

urpmq -i xine-ui

xine-ui-0.99.12-3.mga8.src.rpm
xine-ui-0.99.12-3.mga8.tainted.src.rpm

Also, VDPAU is for hardware acceleration decoding facility.
Can you tell about your hardware by do:
$ inxi -G

tainted binaries + Mesa drivers updated for a Intel chipset.

Theoretically I should say that this must just works.
It is not the case.

The better you can even make is provide a link to problematic video to be tested also.

Note really sure it is belong to xine-ui rather xine-lib1.2
Did these videos well played before?

excuse the piratebay link: https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=13970849

valid for i586 LXDE install from Mageia9 Alpha i586.iso.

updated *arch* and *release*

.m4v, .mkv, mp4, .webm files affected.

I found several really strange problems about this package:

- we ship a mangled/broken xine-ui package as can be seen at this line in the output: "This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.10.1."
-> this version does not even exist at sourceforge. There should be shown "v0.99.12" (for our cauldron version)
- playing a file with doubleclicking it in a filemanager (dolphin) works flawlessly

Additionally i discovered that you need to put the path to the media in hyphen or the file will not play. That means your command should look like this Ben:

 
[work@localhost ~]$ xine '/home/work/Videos/some.mp4'

note that comment 6 is specific => LXDE only, i586.
As the mentioned files did not play when clicked from PCmanFM window, (Xine exited with no error given), so I ran the command from terminal.
When I next have a LXDE i586 partition, I will use your tip.

however, when 
$ xine /home/work/Videos/some.mp4 or $ xine /home/work/Videos/some.wma is entered the GUI is presented and the files play.

oops

$ xine /home/work/Videos/some.mp3

(In reply to sturmvogel from comment #7)

reports file note found, but at least xine does not exit completely.

installing libvdpau-va-gl1-0.4.2-5.mga9.i586

allows some of the AV files to play audio for a few seconds when invoked from file manager (PCManFM), and then locks the player.

requires kill from task manager to close the GUI.

install is LXDE only from beta1 i586.iso

seems to be hardware specific,

This system do not have LXDE, (have Plasma, Gnome, xfce) and did not have xine.
Now installed xine-ui from tainted, with deps, and tried:
