Hello SuSE folkz, I've finaly managed to install xine (libraries and interface). Now my question is about how to actually play DVD with this darn thing? I insert DVD disk in my DVD ROM and start xine interface. Xine comes up but nothing happening. It just plainly doesn't see DVD in the drive.
You need a plugin like the DVDNAV (or Captaincss), and a library capable of CSS decryption, like libdvdcss. Teoretically, you should compile it yourself (it is experimental software), but you may find an rpm prepared for suse, searching around. Warning: some companies say that is illegal (have a look at http://www.lemuria.org/DeCSS/, for example, to know more about it). That is the reason, I assume, that suse does not distribute those plugins.
Should I mount DVD somehow in order for xine to see it?
No. That way, you will see the files, which you may copy. But you need to decrypt them in order to view the movie.
Could somebody please help me with this issue or point to the source of information.
