Hi has anybody got xine to work in 8.1 ? Mplayer seems to be a default install and when I try to install xine from skyblade rpms which ahve always worked before I get conflict errors with parts of the Mplayer install. I've tried a force nodeps install of xine but when I start it it refuses to read a dvd. I've also tried uninstalling Mplayer but yast2 tells me that all sorts of programmes depend on it. I have not yet got to grips with all the options on the new yast2 package manager, so am not really clear how to use it to resolve this sort of thing. Pluas I ahve no idea how to use mplayer, dtarted as a gui it just tells me no disc is installed. And I'd really like o use xine anyway. Any help greatly appreciated. TIA Mike

Yes, but I always had to use violence:-) rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps I am afraid there is something wrong with the 0.9.13 release, it likes to crash when you throw in a DVD, start the 'DVDNAV' button, and then try to proceed to the chapter you would like to watch. Playing the whole DVD is possible. This was better in 0.9.12:-( Cheers .... Wolfi ============================================= mailto:wolfi_z@gmx.net

It's also better in ogle, where character selection actually works. In xine, I've always used the d5d (used to be d4d) plugin. These days it too can handle menus. But as I said, prefer ogle. Except for the fact that I can't seem to get it to go fullscreen in kde anymore, it works and it's fast. //Anders

Oops, I don't know where that came from. I meant chapter selection, obviously. Also, to the original poster: yes, I have xine 0.9.13 working under 8.1. But I compiled from source, so that may not help you. The binaries I compiled under 8.0 continued to work just fine under 8.1 (no c++ :) //Anders

I still have an 8,0 installation. I have reinstalled the 0.9.13 rpms in that , set dma on the drive and using dvdnav it works perfectly. I have now installed the same rpms in 8.1 set dma the same way and when I fire it up I get errors from libdvdcss and libdvdread telling me that it cannot find a dvd in the drive. xine-check tells me that good /dev/cdrom points to /dev/hdc, and good /dev/dvd points to /dev/hdc So as far as I can see it should work. any clues ?

Not off hand. As I said I didn't have to change anything from my 8.0 installation of xine. After the upgrade it just worked. What messages are you getting from xine? Do you get dvd_reader: opening /dev/dvd... ? If the messages from xine don't provide any clues all I can think of is running "ldd" on xine and all libraries it uses and check if possibly there's one missing somewhere. Anders

Some more thought led me to wonder whether the problem is the dvd software or the access to the drive. So tried acouple of cd players (grip and kscd), neither will read a disc. So I conclude I need to reset some links to the drive ? I'd be grateful for advice as to where to look and what to do. Mike

Can you mount a normal data cd in the dvd drive?

You could check /var/log/messages and try to find the place in the bootup sequence where the dvd drive gets polled. That should tell you the device name. Anders

You shouldn't rely on that; using suse 7.3: - I can read a data dvd. - I can watch movies with xine (0.9.13). - I can play music CDs. - But I can not read data CDs. It seems some dvd readers can not read data cds :-( -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

That's really strange. I use 7.3, and I can read data CDs in the DVD drive in my notebook.... I had just assumed that everyone could. It's the only CD drive I have, so I don't have a choice, but it has worked -- without exception -- for any CD or DVD I've ever put in the drive. I cannot watch movies now, but that's due to the poor quality of the DVD decoding chip installed in the unit (the company was one of the first to go belly up, and the computer's really too slow for that anyway).

Me too... till I bought this new PC (well new last december). First I thought it was a linux problem, and the suse support people gave me many sugestions; but then I tried in windows, and there it is even worse. In linux at least I can read part of the directory, windows just freezes for 10 minutes.

You can speed the player somewhat by compiling xine or whatever yourself. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

I don't think it would help. It seems that it will play older DVDs, but not newer ones anyway. As long as it reads data DVDs and CDs, I'm happy. We bought a $200.00 DVD player to play movies on, so I'm happy with that solution, too. (Now the kids can watch a movie on DVD and I can work at the same time.)

Ah... that may be because it is an old unit, I guess. Probably not all drives support all format: probably can not read all the layers. I think it was two layers, two sides, or perhaps three layes, I'm not sure.

That's a better reason :-) -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Anders I fixed it after reading Phillip Thomas post about DVD drive recognised as a scsi drive under 8.1 Thanks for all who replied to my original post. Mike
I've installed xine 0.9.12 with rpms, installed d4d and d5d, SuSeconfig, and it works perfectly well, as with 8.0. In fact, I used the files I'd downloaded for 8.0! HTH! Le Samedi 12 Octobre 2002 15:43, Anders Johansson a écrit :

I've had xine 0.9.13 working fine and using dvdnav in 8.0, and ogle working sometimes, but I can,t get either to work in 8.1. Mike
