DVD failure in XINE

Permaximus · 11-16-2005, 11:52 PM

My dvd player just crapped out so I decided I would just go ahead and watch them on my pc. I have been trying to get various dvd's to work for a while now. When I first tried playing a dvd xine (and totem) would play the first part (the FBI warning and such) then error out. On xine it would tell me. "Error reading NAV packet." Anybody have this problem before or know how to fix it? Thanks.

Try installing libdvdcss:

The package is for 10.1, but works fine on my 10.2 system.

and if for some reason if libdvdcss doesnt work,

try changing the directory xine looks for the dvd to /dev/hdb

thats what I did. you can change it in settings - input tab

I am on 10.0 and have already installed libdvdcss. I am not sure the directory is what is wrong, as I can read the disk up until a certan point. Thanks though. Any other ideas?
