I finally got my Mandriva 2006 DVD (Powerpack Ed.) and installed it (Glad to get rid of SuSE). Overall, i'm very satisfied with the result, it does everything i need it to Except play DVD's. I set up the repositories, installed the required Codecs and all that but when i try to play a DVD i get these error's in Xine and MPlayer respectively: http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d89/pelvis_3/snapshot2.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d89/pelvis_3/snapshot1.jpg Any help would be appreciated pelvis_3
Hey.... Welcome to the club..... with me MPlayer cannot access the dvd (whatever tht means...) If you do find a solution...please let me know. Have you tried VLC? [ot]I cannot get it because like the :swear: I am, for some bizarr reason, I removed most of my repositories and now cannot seem to be able to add new ones. So I cannot get VLC myself. But that is for another thread.....[/ot] Apart from making sure you have all the necessary codecs I cannot think what else to do. Can the player actualy play the *.VOB files ? Is it just the DVD it cannot access? Can you play other formats like mpeg or avi? Try and post your Q on the mandriva club forum.
Make sure that the packages libdvdcss and libdvdread are installed otherwise mpalyer won't play the file.
I haven't tried VLC yet, but i will, thanks. I can play all other files except DVD's, .VOB files and .WMV files. This happens on every DVD i try, so im assuming it's a missing Codec or package somewhere along the lines i missed. I've installed all the libdvd, Xine, MPlayer, Kaffiene, css and win32 stuff but still the same
I have those installed and it doesn't make any diffenerce. I also tired deleting and re-installing them but still the same
libdvdcss – If you plan on watching encrypted DVDs in Linux, you need this. libdvdnav4 – Ditto. libdvdcss2 - “ libdvdplay0 - “ libdvdcontrol9 - “ ...Then play the DVD this way:
It works now I deleted all the codecs and re-installed them along with Xine and MPlayer! I think it was because i had libdvdcss2 installed intsead od libdvdcss :x: Cheers all pelvis_3
