energymedia Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 As I have stated in a previous post, I have had issues with getting my DVD player to work. Now that I have URPMI configured, I have been able to get it working with no difficulty. I am assuming that those reading this now have URPMI setup, if not, please see my post "URPMI and newbies" in this forum. At the shell, I grabbed root (su) and typed the following commands in: [root@emedialpt002 jgreer]# urpmi libdvdcss [root@emedialpt002 jgreer]# urpmi libdvdread3 [root@emedialpt002 jgreer]# urpmi libdvdread-utils I then put a DVD in and started Xine. DVD played with no problems at all. I have not yet tested any other DVD player, but I presume they would work as well. Hope this helps some of you out.

neutro Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 mplayer with the appropriate win32codec package works well it seems, and with ALSA and my SBLive! 5.1 soundcard, I can even get 5.1 working. However, it may be my DVD player, but the layer change in the DVD often cause my comp to crash entirely :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarissi Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 (edited) I have stable and smooth DVD movie playback in Totem and MDK 10.0 CE!!! Sound too. libdvdcss2-1.2.8-1plf.rpm libdvdread3-0.9.4-2mdk.rpm not sure what else. This is the first time I have gotten DVD movie playback working without Totem crashing. (or working at all) I tested with 4 different DVDs and picture quality is better than in Win98SE!! Edit: a friend of mine is jealous, cause he could never get his to work.

fangbite Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Works almost perfectly. With some of the opening previews for some reason my dvd will eject but if i just fast forward past them i don't seem to have any problems. Totem doesn't work but xine does so frankly thats enough for me. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! Now all i need to do is get winex cvs to work so i can leave windows for good.
