xine or kaffeine will still not play dvd's...........stating that xine has reduced codecs and is unable to play dvd's. I've even installed libdvdcss rpm to no avail. Could it be because I am trying to run dvd's on suse's version of xine/kaffeine? |

I have no idea what codecs SuSE ships with. But since you clearly have internet connectivity, go to xinehq.de and get the latest releases of xine-lib and xine-ui. Those should be much more complete and up to date. Hope this helps... -- -Mike Melanson |

For the past few years, the basic xine-lib distribution has been bundled with libdvdnav and libdvdread. libdvdcss is not distributed due to US DMCA concerns and must be obtained separately. =09xine's underlying philosophy is to include as much stuff as possible to make life easier for the end user. -- =09-Mike Melanson |

That is also what you said the first time.. ?! Anyway I will have to test your claim that libdvdnav and libdvdread is not needed further. I was under the impression that Debian explicitly seperated these libraries out in their own packages. In any case the easiest way to obtain libdvdcss on Debian is to install libdvdnav and execute the example script that follows with the documentation. (Now just go ahead and tell me that the libdvdnav/libdvdcss example is installed along with xine-lib, and you will have me convinced..) :) Anders -- This email was generated using KMail 1.7 (KDE3.3) on Debian GNU/Linux |

That should give users a complete DVD playback system under Linux. Note that other binary codecs may be required for playing certain other files. But DVD is covered by those first 3 programs. =09There is no telling how different distros slice and dice xine to feel 'safe' including it. Multimedia playback makes a lot of people skittish due to legal uncertainty. =09Hope this helps... -- =09-Mike Melanson |
