Playing DVDs with Kaffeinr/xine and not fill SAWP and die
Glad to see this come up. I have Suse 9.1 pro. I loaded libdcss as below. But Xine plays for a while, filling up RAM and swap space. When swap is full, xine stalls and a little later gives an error menu popup and dies. Does anyone know how to let the video feed play and not fill memory?

I'm running 9.0 SuSE. It mentioned whenever I launched xine that I could not play encrypted DVD's. I installed the latest xine (tarball) and loaded libdcss (think that was the name) and it's all good now :D

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

Did you run xine-check as a non-root user? It will tell you how to configure for best performance if you are not setup that way. Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.5-7.75-default
I ran xine-check but it did no good. Here is output from xine-check:

I run xine with the command:
xine -V xshm &
System still fills up RAM, followed by SWAP, and then stalls and crashes. I use xine version 0.99.1 Any further hints to solve problem? Thanks, Allen Wilkinson On Thu, 24 Jun 2004, Scott Leighton wrote:

<snip> Go to http://packman.links2linux.org/index.php4 and find xine for whatever disto number you are running. Download it and all the necessary things at the bottom of the page too. Put all the rpm's into an empty directory, open up a konsole, cd to that directory, then do ls to make sure it's just those rpm's you just downloaded), then su to root and type rpm -Uvh *.rpm , this will install/update all or any of those things onto your system. Once that's all done, go back to packman's site and get kaffeine or one of the other gui fronteneds for Xine, install it also, and you're ready to rock 'n roll.
