Guest mahiles Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 What dvd players do you use? I don't particularly care which one I use but I've tried setting up a few and can't manage :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtweidmann Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 Xine and Ogle, and occasionally Mplayer. What sort of problems are you having? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 need to make sure you have libdvdcss installed (and possibly libdvdread too, having both won't hurt-but css will play encrypted ones). check out PLF for libdvdcss, and also ogle, which is my favorite dvd player.

Guest mahiles Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 Yup I've got both installed but I still have trouble installing. I try to find rpms cos I'm new at linux and rpms seem to be the easy thing to do (not that I always want the easy option I just want to get my hardware working). So, I found an mplayer one which ran fine but is there a gui interface for it? I tried running an okle rpm (cos am using kde not gnome) and I get conflicts detected. I did try the unofficial version of xine but can't remember what happened with that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works better for me than "power dvd" for msxp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 If you just want one to work why not just use xine on the cd's. Works for me. If not, add PLF to your urpmi sources and let urpmi handle the rest :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 mplayer does have a gui, i believe the package is gmplayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtweidmann Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 or kmplayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 I don't think it's a separate pkg, just a command to bring it up in gui. gmplayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 So you wanna play your DVD's The easiest way is make sure you add the plf sources to your setup. Choose which you wanna use, I use xine and mplayer Remove all xine/mplayer from your system usingthe software uninstaller. This isn't strictly necassary but it makes it easier if longer presuming you have broadband. Visit the plf acrhives and make sure you add the urpmi sources not only for plf but also contrib. It makes sense to add texstar at the same time. The easiest way to do this is easyurpmi from the plf website (follow link). If you paste the line it gives you into a text file you can run it all at once. Open a editor (any editor) copy the contents of the black window it makes into it ... highlight in borwser then middle button to paste in editor. Save the file (example : urmpi.sh and close the editor. You must run this as root so ... su (don't use -) <&**^&%> (password) then mv urpmi.sh /root This also gives it ownership by root. Now type exit..... (put you back to user) Now su - <RWEGWGTR> This runs the full login scripts for root and this includes going to /root strictly speaking the first line should read . #! /usr/bin/sh (but don't worry) chmod +x urmpi.sh ./urmpi.sh (It will take a while as it updates your sources by downloading the indexes.) When its finished, your feeling bettr aftrer a drink/meal etc.... check the full name of the libdvdcss and Xine versions in the plf mirrors now type urmpi libdvdcss(full version) xine(full version) Now it will ignore the Cd versions which don't play encrypted dvd's and fetch the ones from plf. As long as you made sure you added contrib in easy urpmi it should resolve all the deps. That should be it .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
