Yuyo Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 Dear Mandrakians, After being unable to play DVDs by using the Ogle rpms available through plf, I decided to do a little bit of research. Now I have perfect playback and I thought this info might benefit other folks. To get Ogle to play in Mandrake 9.2,you need to install the the following package from the third CD of the download distribution: XFree86-compat-libs-4.1.0-3mdk.i586.rpm Then, Go to this page: http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd/redhat.shtm Where you will find a convenient link for the following rpms: libdvdcss-1.2.8-1.fr.i386.rpm libdvdread-0.9.4-fr3.i386.rpm ogle-0.9.1-fr3.i386.rpm ogle_gui-0.9.1-fr2.i386.rpm I used the freshrpms link for each of the above. Make sure you download theactual rpm and not the devel or source package. Install each the usual way,i.e. rpm -ivh "nameofrpm" That's it. Enjoy perfect and beautiful DVD playback in Mandrake 9.2. But it gets even better. Once you install the above. Totem, the media player included with Mandrake will be able to play your DVDs too. So now you have mp3, DVD, CDs and mpeg playback from a very cool looking app. I am having fun and enjoying this new release. Ps: The plf packages for Ogle are junk. I repeat junk, so don't bother using them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illogic-al Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 Then, Go to this page: http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd/redhat.shtm Where you will find a convenient link for the following rpms: libdvdcss-1.2.8-1.fr.i386.rpm libdvdread-0.9.4-fr3.i386.rpm ogle-0.9.1-fr3.i386.rpm ogle_gui-0.9.1-fr2.i386.rpm do not mix redhat rpms with mandrake rpms, eventually you'll get screwed. you should uninstall these and use the ones provided by plf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germ Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 I use mplayer from plf. It's worked fantastic for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 All you need is to set up plf sources and do urpmi libdvdcss2 and both xine and mplayer (start it as gmplayer to have the gui) will play dvds. Actually, I accidentally set up plf sources in 9.2 for 9.1 (easyurpmi wasn't updated, and still isn't ...) but it still works fine. (See also my config page on my website) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
