Getting Xine to watch DVD

(1/2) > >>

heljy:
Ok, I just installed a DVDROM today and would like to try to watch DVD on Mandrake.

Firstly, my DVDROM is /dev/hdc so I created a symbolic link /dev/dvd -> /dev/hdc I also set /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc

After that i downloaded xine-lib, xine-ui, set it up and installed them. Then I downloaded the DVDNAV plugin and the Captain CSS plugin and installed both (I tried DVDNAV first and it didnt work).

Well, basically I started xine and select DVD and  this came up at the panel "dvd://VIDEO_TS.VOB" but once I clicked on play, the following message came up:

- xine engine error -

There is no input plugin available to handle
'dvd://VIDEO_TS.VOB'.
Maybe MRL syntax is wrong or file/stream scource doesn't exits.

Does that mean that the DVDNAV and the Captain CSS plugins that I installed didnt work?

Any advise?

EDIT: BTW, I tried to watch both VCD and divx files and both worked flawlessly, so I am pretty sure that xine got installed properly.

Try Ogle.  I got it working on my box and can play CSS encrypted DVD's.

Who is viewing encrypted DVDs, and which release(app) are you using on RH 8.0?  :confused:

Don't select DVD select the NAV button and it will work. I had that problem for a long time to.

I tried Ogle and must say that I am pretty impressed. It ran well and I can finally watch DVD on my linux box  :D

One thing to point out though, maybe its a known bug(read on the site about working on ESD, some audio stuff), but after playing one DVD, I cant get it to work anymore. It starts up fine for 4 sec and automatically closes itself. I guess it must have something to do with the audio portion of the system.

After that, I cant get XMMS and Xine to work too, I must reboot the OS before it works again. Anyone has the same problem?
