That did it -- thanks. One minor difficulty. The kaffeine rpm listed for SuSE 9.1 requires qt 3.3.2 and SuSE 9.1 has qt 3.3.1. So, I just installed the 9.0 version. Looks like this version of kaffeine has at least one improvement besides DVD support. When playing a CD it shows the title of all tracks right away instead of waiting for the track top be played. -- Robert C. Paulsen, Jr. robert@paulsenonline.net

Hello,

I would like to play DVDs with kaffeine. I have the following installed, but kaffeine still tells me it can't play DVDs:

libdvdnav-0.1.9-63 libdvdread-0.9.4-146 libdvdcss-1.2.8-1 xine-lib-0.99.rc3a-106.8

What am I missing?

One note though; I find xine uses far less resources, and better playback, then kaffine, even though kaffine is just a front-end to xine. YMMV.

Regards,

Mark Go one better can xine and kaffine download ogle and it´s bits it beats the hell out of kaffine and friends..

I did this under 9.0 and get a libslang-utf8.so.1 dependancy. I tried to instal the slang RPM from the 9.1 distro, but I get libslang.so.1 dependancy messages. Do I just need an older version of xine? -- Jeff Dierking jeff@lordjester.com ------------------------ GPG/PGP KeyID 0x5F355DB4 Retrieve pgp-public-keys@pgp.mit.edu?subject=get%200x5F355DB4 ------------------------ Go forward to erf.

You need to install slang from the suse cds or the ftp site.

This will not work. He needs to download a version of xine for SuSE 9.0. libslang-utf8.so.1 is not provided in a SuSE package for 9.0, AFAIK. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos

I don't know but the xine version for SuSE 9.0 plays DVDs just fine for me. I don't know why you would need the other library unless you just want to live on the edge. If that *is* the case, try it and see. But, keep track of *exactly* what you do so you can recover easily. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
