Guest mahiles Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 Rite I got Xine installed but how do I make it play dvds? I heard that I needed libdvdcss so I got that but what do I do with it? If I just put it anywhere and run ./configure, make, make install will it install it in the correct place or do I have to do it in a specific place? Help!

bvc Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 I tried xine a couple of days ago with a dvd and it attempted, but failed. Last night I opened rpmdrake and installed everyhting that was xine and it worked beautifully. There's a libdvdcss rpm that needs to be installed. It's not a file that you put somewhere. Everything is on the 3 cd's. Oh, beautifully except my kids computer animated dvd's have lines in them (mplayer also)....what's up with that? :roll: Win98 doesn't do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtweidmann Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 To play encrypted DVDs in Xine you need libdvdcss, rather than building it yourself get the rpm from the PLF site. While your at it upgrade to the latest version of Xine and other Xine plugins. Once thats done place the DVD in the drive and fire up Xine. In the GUI click on the DVD tab and wait for the disk to sping up and then it should work. I have found Xine to be a picky, it either works perfectly on a computer or its awful. If you do get poor quality play back first make sure you haven't got huge amount of processes/apps running in the background huggin teh memory. Also if your in KDE try using the arts plugin for audio instead of the default OSS. (Xine's config can be got at by clicking on the spanner icon). If all else fails try Ogle, not as nice IMHO but reliable. This site shows how to add PLF and other sources to urpmi to make installing the required rpms easier. http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iphitus Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 To play dvds you need to install the d5d and d4d plugins. One problem however i had. It didn't work with Xine 1.0. You need to install the 0.9. This means getting an old mandrake 9.0 xine-ui (version 0.9) rpm from www.rpmfind.net James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 Like I said, install all xine pkgs on the cd's.....I did and its been great. [root@localhost home]# rpm -qa | grep xine xine-dxr3-1-0.beta4.1mdk xine-ui-fb-0.9.18-1mdk libxine0-0.9.13-11mdk xine-aa-1-0.beta4.1mdk libxine1-1-0.beta4.1mdk xine-esd-1-0.beta4.1mdk xine-arts-1-0.beta4.1mdk xine-lib-compat-arts-0.9.13-11mdk xine-lib-compat-dxr3-0.9.13-11mdk xinetd-2.3.11-1.1mdk xine-ui-0.9.18-1mdk xine-lib-compat-alsa-0.9.13-11mdk xine-alsa-1-0.beta4.1mdk xine-lib-compat-aa-0.9.13-11mdk xine-ui-aa-0.9.18-1mdk xine-dvdnav-1-0.beta4.1mdk xine-flac-1-0.beta4.1mdk xine-lib-compat-esd-0.9.13-11mdk xine-plugins-1-0.beta4.1mdk xine-lib-compat-plugins-0.9.13-11mdk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah31 Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 To play dvds you need to install the d5d and d4d plugins. that is unnecessary now. the v1.0 library includes dvdnav which performs the same function as these plugins. in otherword xine has native dvd playback (provided you have libdvdcss) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
