[xine-user] Cant play encrypted DVDs even with libdvdcss

[George W. <ac...@sh...>]

Im using Xine to play DVDs on a Gentoo/MythTV HTPC. Ive been back and
forth between different versions some using ebuilds and some from
source, and mainly using a Xine spinoff, VeXP.

I discovered yesterday that VeXP wouldn't play encrypted DVDs, so
I assumed that this was because VeXP is based on an old version of
Xine (I still dont understand VeXPs version numbering system so I
dont actually know which version its based on!) or that it was just
even crapper than I thought it was :P So as a test I uninstalled it
and emerged good old normal Xine, and it too refused to play normal
DVDs.

Ive installed libdvdcss three times now (from ebuilds, both stable
and ~x86, which are the same BTW), and both VeXP and Xine seem to
be using it in some way. And those DVDs that wouldn't play on the
HTPC work perfectly fine on my main machine, and Ive only just
installed Xine on that too!?!

I remeber the error was coming from  demux_mpeg_block; this one-
'demux_mpeg_block: warning: PES header indicates that this stream may
be encrypted (encryption mode 1)'
Im pretty sure it was mode 1.

OH! And I live in the UK, and Im not afraid of being extradited under
the DMCA!!! :D

Thanks very much,
George
