Hi All,
I was wondering if it was possible to play a DVD in SuSE 9? I do not seem to be able to do so with what I have installed. Although SuSE does see my DVD player (the icon on the desktop says DVD and the other says CD-R - both are correct). I can access the drive (I actually installed SuSE from that drive). SuSE sees it as an HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR8162B if that matters.
Here's what I did to get it working : 1. Install xine * Download libxine1-1_rc3-0.pm.0.i586.rpm from http://packman.links2linux.org Install with YaST2 * Download libxine1-dvd-1_rc3-0.pm.0.i586.rpm from http://packman.links2linux.org Install with YaST2 2. Install libdvdcss (= decoder for encrypted DVD's) * Download libdvdcss2-1.2.8-0.pm.2.nosrc.rpm from http://packman.links2linux.org * Download libdvdcss-1.2.8.tar.bz2 from http://www.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/ * Installation : - Move libdvdcss-1.2.8.tar.bz2 to /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/ - Run the following as root : cd /your-download-directory/ rpmbuild --rebuild --target=i686 libdvdcss*.nosrc.rpm ( this will build an RPM file libdvdcss2-1.2.8-0.pm.2.i686.rpm in /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i686/ ) - Install libdvdcss2-1.2.8-0.pm.2.i686.rpm with YaST2 3. Enable DMA for DVD drive * Go to YaST2 - Hardware - IDE DMA mode * Set DMA On for CD/DVD drive Enjoy. Cheers, -- Jan Elders the Netherlands http://www.xs4all.nl/~jrme/ "Home of the Network Acronyms"
