Playing DVDs with Kaffeinr/xine and not fill SAWP and die

25 Jun 2004


      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?

Thanks, Allen

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

Can I use the libslang-utf8 from the 9.1 distro?
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.
