Otherwise, xine works just great for many files already, .mpg, mp3, ogg, .mpeg, some .mov, realplayer, etc. Crippled software doesn't do those things, but if you are having problems with the most simple files, you might want to look elsewhere for your answers to the problem.

Ahh, no, its not that simple. I had xine working just fine under 8.2, libdvdcss & all.
I upgraded to 9.1 and it still worked.
Then one day i did a fresh install of 9.2, and xine was broke. dvdnav would not load, dvdcss did not work any more. Surfed on over to packman and installed everything they had. Still nothing. xine will not play encrypted dvds.
My dvd reader never did have a region code set, and it used to work under 8.2, but not any more, nor, inspite of several tries , am I able to get a working xine. There is more to it than you imply, and I have not yet figured it out, but this is the exact same hardware that worked under 8.2. Suse seems to have written protection into the xine libraries, I tried for two days with theirs, I reloaded and started again several times too, The only way, is to remove xine and all deps and reinstall from from somewhere else. I did it from source forge. and compiled but there are sites with rpms, a friend of mine did it with apt4suse. So try a few of these.
Any one know if this has been sorted out in 9.2 or is it the same. because if it is then I won't sell any suse 9.2, I had more than enough grief with 9.1 and I have lost so many customers as a result of this. When will suse learn multimedia is the most common use of a computer on the desktop, so they break it and refuse to fix it. mmm! :-{ -- Chadley Wilson Redhat Certified Technician Cert Number: 603004708291270 Pinnacle Micro Manufacturers of Proline Computers ==================================== Exercise freedom, Use LINUX =====================================
