Could you print the error log of xine here when it gives such an error?

 

I don't work with totem (but I use xine ...:D), but if it can pass command-line-options to xine ...

 

Try this maybe:

 

totem --verbose=3

 

It should print out a lot of info then...

Thanks. I was able to generate this log.

I see you have libdvdcss installed, but did you also install libdvdcss-devel ??? It is also needed.

 

Most important is to open a console such as Konsole and type in the following line:-

 

ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/dvd

 

exactly as shown including spaces.

Click ENTER and I suggest a reboot even though it may not be entirely necessary.

 

This is the part most often omitted. Hope it works for you.

 

 

Cheers. John.

I was having problems playing standard retail movie DVD's like LOTR and Gladiator, but an unprotected pr0n DVD played fine. I downloaded and installed OGLE and now I can play all of my DVD's...

Tried OGLE, with no luck. Pirates of the Caribean still wont play.

Ogle can't read any data.

Make sure that the CSS authentication works correctly.

See also the FAQ at http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~dvd/faq.shtml

Three common problems are:

no write permission on you DVD drives device node.

you are trying to play a DVD from a region other than the one

of the DVD drive.

or you have never set the region on the drive.

 

For setting the region; a program called regionset will do this.

Search for dvd_disc or dvdkit on freshmeat.net

Beware that you can only sset the region 5 times!
