DVD issues

[mightymulatto]

Hey guys. I kinda feel foolish because I fixed this problem before. I have tried all the previous steps to no success.

 

 

I recently installed Mandriva Linux 2007 and my DVD player won't play DVDs

I am using Kaffine player and am getting 2 errors.

 

One says that I don't have rights to view the disk, that it may be encrypted or that it may not be in the drive.

 

The other gives me an error about xine not having a plugin.

 

 

 

To date I've made sure I had the gcc compiler installed, the make package installed.

 

 

I have downloaded libdvdcss and installed it.

I have also went through the install of xine from it's website.

 

 

I've also looked into xine engine options I've the DVD location set to the same as my audio cd's as they play just fine.

 

Any help?

 

 

I went back over everything and found this to be different. This is the output when i try to compile and install libdvdcss.

The libdvdcss and xsine programs you installed, were they rpm packages or tar packages that you compiled ??.

 

If they were tar, can I ask what posessed you to go this route instead of going the rpm route ???

 

If they were rpms then I suggest you uninstall them and do fresh downloads and reinstall again. One or both could have been corrupted somehow.

 

Cheers. John.

From what I see he's compiling it. I don't know why, just do:

 

urpmi libdvdcss

 

and sit back knowing that it's all working within less than a minute than trying to troubleshoot compiling. Mandriva has around 15,000 packages so I doubt you'll find much of an occasion to compile.

 

Make sure you set up your easyurpmi sources using the link at the top of this page.

Recheck your Xine settings.

You need to mount the DVD as a raw device, /dev/dvd
