Re: [xine-user] Silly question, but...

An addamentum to your little FAQ:

If you are trying to watch a DVD movie, you must supress your instinct to
click on the "DVD" button, and instead click on D5D or whatever other
plugin you installed to play DVD's with.  I sincerely appologize if this
useability snafu was addressed in a more recent version :)

Firstly upgrade to the latest xine (0.9.12) its much better :)

I'm going to put this in the HOWTO:

Q: I'm getting the following error: 'There is no available input plug-in
available to handle 'xine-ui version 0.9.8'.

A: xine is a media player. Just like 99% of other media players you
should open a file before pressing play so that xine actually has
something to look at. Some plugins provide convinience 'buttons' that
appear on the UI with the name of the plugin (e.g. 'NAV' or 'D5D').
Clicking these will open what the plugin thinks is the most likely thing
you want to look at (in the case of DVD plugins this will most likely be
'Open the DVD in drive /dev/dvd'). In summary, before you press play you
must either a) open a file, b) have passed a file/MRL on the command
line or c) have clicked one of the buttons with the plugin names on.

It seems a common problem.
