Forcing the install does work, however.
This is interesting: although I use powerpc at work I'm stuck on Intel at home, where I tried both xine and oms. I had xine crashing too, but oms worked some of the time. I can't build either on the PowerPCs because I'm running Potato, but this may change when teaching stops and I go for an upgrade... Maybe it's time to try OMS/Xine again? Incidentally, isn't it the case that the xine and oms engines are essentially the same (I recall reading that on the OMS wiki -- http://www.linuxvideo.org/docs/wiki/moin.cgi/LividDiscussion about half way down under "Nice Thought - here's and idea...") Nick/ (Sorry if this is getting off-topic for the powerpc list)
