Re: [xine-user] Is it a libdvdcss problem?

[Bill <wg...@te...>]

Hi again folks,

Ok. It's definitely a Xine problem. Xine is treating one drive 
differently from the other. I can play the commercial DVD in my 
burner but not in my LG player. 

I've been told that: 
"Because it is the player software that handles all the CSS 
decoding, not the drive. The drive might arbitrate the access, but 
when you have RPC1 firmware it is completely region agnostic." 

Does anyone know how I can capture verbose system output 
from xine in order to report the bug properly and diagnose the 
problem? I'd like to be able to compare the output from the two 
drives.

I've flashed the bios on the LG GDR8162B DVD drive twice
more now - once as a RPC1 drive and once as a RPC2 drive.
It still won't play ball with Xine. 

All help appreciated.

Here's the output from the drive probes with various bioses 
installed: (All fail to play the commercial movie).
