I'm back at home ..

urmpf libpng

According to my install I have libpng.so.3

libpng3:/usr/lib/libpng.so.3

 

Now this is really not recommended BUT...

cd /usr/lib

ln -s libpng.so.3.1.2.5 libpng.so.2

 

This makes a link from libpng.so.3.1.2.5 (or whatever version you want) to a file called libpng.so.2

 

If you really want libpng.so.2

http://www.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/gnome/ar...0.3-1.i386.html

 

You can get it here:

Ive just checked and it won't replace anything in Mandrake ... i.e. its safe to install it. :D

personally, i'd stick with the symlink method (ln -s stuff) instead of installing another version of libpng. you never know what could happen with two versions on your system, buy the symlink method should be safe (i've used it before with no problems).

Ok I got xine installed :) but now when I try playing a dvd I recieve:

 

"The source can't be read

Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain data."

 

However, it did detect the dvd title..

Start xine from a terminal to try and get more detail.

 

On libpng. It's not a prob anymore. When 3 was released it was a big prob but now you can safely have 2 and 3 at the same time so that apps that need 2 can, and apps that need 3 can. DO NOT symlink libpng's....90% of the time the app wanting 2 will crash if using 3.

did you see a "using libdvdcss" or similar message? (you would only see this if you started it from command-line).

 

which option did you go with that got xine installed? the symlink option? or did you install the libpng2 rpm? (just for future reference, in case someone comes here looking for info)

i'm not looking for error messages ;-)

 

if you run it from the command line there should be some output in the terminal you run it from. is that error message the only output you get?

Now I definately know it can read it because it started playing for about 1 second then I got the previous message I posted, at the same time this was happening in the console..

you don't seem to have libdvdcss installed, or atleast xine doesn't think you do. and most likely you need it, especially for a DVD as new as American Pie 2....(because the dvd is probably encrypted)

I went through all this the other night ..

It was a pain for me so its notr surprising its causing probs :D

I think ... I downloaded the plf libdvdcss and css2 stuff and then reinstalled it.

 

 

Mahiles .... also your setup to use Xshmem ... This isn't a great way to use it, Xv is faster ...

Can you paste the results of xine --help (don't wait to do the libdvdcss install though)

If you have all of these it'll work. These are all off the cd's.....and it works, forget the latest and greats, there's is no diff, the default works. Did I mention the default works? Oh yes, I did. Screw PLF or any other mirror for that matter. A newbie having trouble needs to stick with the defaults....OH there's that word again.......CD's....CD's.....it's all on the CD's......it works......use it! :wink:

Rite so I try installing the 1st thing on that last and installation fails. If I remove everything to do with xine will the official xine from the cds work with encrypted dvds because I was told only the unofficial version works with encrypted dvds.
