Hello SuSE people, Looking for some xine advice. Running SuSE 9.2 on a x86_64 Want to play DVD's. As you all know, the installed xine in Suse is broken for "legal reasons" Now I know I can go to Packman and get the "unbroken"version.Went there and looked. They offer libexine1-1_rc7-0.pm.0.i686.rpm. I am thinking this is not what I want because I am running x86_64. Am I correct on that ? or will that work, (comments on another list stated that the 32 bit would work just as well) or should I be downloading the .src file and compile it. I saw in a post awhile back that Joe Morris compiled mplayer from source. If I did that with xine would it be a direct compile or be adding stuff to the spec file? And, what will i need in addition to the libdvdcss file, w32 codecs, ogg, etc.? Or do they come in the libexine package? Should I find sources for them also? Any other hidden dependencies? Last but not least should I uninstall the present file, or will a -Uvh do it for me? Thanks guys, Bob S.

I got my kaffine and xine stuff here. Playing dvds fine. http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-jmorris/suse92/ I know I did these: kaffeine-0.5-1rc2.x86_64.rpm libdvdcss2-1.2.8-3.x86_64.rpm libxine1-1_rc7-0.x86_64.rpm Seems I may have needed another rpm or to for some dependencies, but I can't remember for sure what they were. I do remember I got them from the same place. I put all the files in a directory by them selves and did a rpm -Uvh *.rpm Downloaded any dependency to the same directory and tried again. I don't remember uninstalling anything first, but I might have.

For mplayer, I went to http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-jmorris/suse92/ I installed: MPlayer-1.0pre5-2.x86_64.rpm w32codec-all-20041107-0.pm.0.i386.rpm (from packman?) I may have also needed: lame-3.96.1-pm.1.x86_64.rpm I also installed mplayerplug-in-2.70-2.x86_64.rpm Looks like there might be some newer rpms out there. Have fun! Doug

The OP will need libdvdnav as well in order to have DVD menus, etc.

I do use apt-get for update my system. It links to ftp.gwdg.de, where is the apt-get repository (or at least, the biggest on). So, with apt-get and synaptic it will be really easy to resolve all dependencies. Cheers Sunny -- Get Firefox http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&id=10745&t=85

Hello Doug & Sunny, Thanks for responding. Followed Doug's advice and downloaded Joe Morris's rpm's for the x86_64 and installed them. Kaffeine doesn't want to run and I get an xine Kaffeine error. This is the message: Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain data ( e.g. no disc in drive) /dev/dvd I don't have a /dev/dvd I have a /dev/dvdrecorder. Don't know if this is the problem. Yast says it is /dev/hdc, linked to /dev/dvdrecorder, and mount point is /media. There is an entry in fstab. Is it possible to just make a link from hdc to dvd ?? Following are the details from the error message xine: cannot find input plugin for MRL [dvd:/] xine: input plugin cannot open MRL [dvd:/] xine: found input plugin : DVD Navigator video_out: throwing away image with pts 16634781 because it's too old (diff : 10317). video_out: throwing away image with pts 16631778 because it's too old (diff : 8223). video_out: throwing away image with pts 16628775 because it's too old (diff : 11226). video_out: throwing away image with pts 16625772 because it's too old (diff : 14229). video_out: throwing away image with pts 16622769 because it's too old (diff : 13266). video_out: throwing away image with pts 16619766 because it's too old (diff : 12966). video_out: throwing away image with pts 16616763 because it's too old (diff : 15969). xine: found demuxer plugin: MPEG program stream demux plugin xine: found input plugin : file input plugin xine: found demuxer plugin: Elementary MPEG stream demux plugin xine: found input plugin : file input plugin xine: cannot find input plugin for MRL [dvd:/] xine: input plugin cannot open MRL [dvd:/] xine: found input plugin : DVD Navigator Bob S. PS Could the other thing you added be the win32codecs ?

I'm pressed for time tonight... short night tonight and long day tommorrow. I'll try to look closer later if you don't have it fixed by then. I get the same error when I have no dvd in the drive and I do have a /dev/dvd (nothing in /etc/fstab for /dev/dvd) My /dev/dvdrecorder and /dev/dvd are both sym links to /dev/hdd As root: cp -a /dev/dvdrecorder /dev/dvd (the -a preserves the permissions... on my box they are doug.disk) I don't think it's the codecs, but if the above doesn't solve the problem, you could install them and see. You can always remove them. Good luck! Doug

Thanks Doug, The sym link thing worked. The DVD now playing OK

No, I meant the extra thing that you had to install afterwards Thanks again, Bob S.
