[opensuse] libdvdcss repository not working
Howdy, I am installing opensuse 12.2 on a client's computer, and he needs to be able to play DVDs. I followed the link http://forums.opensuse.org/content/127-multimedia-restricted-formats-install... that has you install packman and the repository for libdvdcss in order to play DVDs. The regular packman repo is off line today for some reason, so I connected to the mirror in Taiwan and it did fine. However, the repository at http://opensuse-guide.org/repo/12.2/ for libdvdcss is not connecting at all. I don't know if this is a problem on my end or on the network, but I am wondering if perhaps there are other mirrors available for this repository as well, just like the alternate packman mirrors? Here is the response from the command line when I tried to install and refresh the repository: jun@ntmpi:~> sudo zypper ar -f http://opensuse-guide.org/repo/12.2/ libdvdcss Adding repository 'libdvdcss' .................................................................................................................................[done] Repository 'libdvdcss' successfully added Enabled: Yes Autorefresh: Yes GPG check: Yes URI: http://opensuse-guide.org/repo/12.2/ jun@ntmpi:~> sudo zypper refresh Repository 'AMD' is up to date.

The same thing occurred last week (to me at least). But the repo was back online a while later. So, for now be patient :-) .

Thanks to everyone for your responses. I was able to get libdvdcss installed and then all the dependencies necessary I was able to get from packman. I am back tomorrow to test the installation and see if it will run DVDs. -- G.O.
