if you are not married to SuSe (good distro i have played with it and like it) then you might want to take a crack at what i have posted there. if you follow those steps you could be up and running in roughly 1-2hrs depending on how fast your hardware and internet connection are. i can do that on an old AMD 1.1G Athlon (first gen socket A) with 1G pc133 ram and 5400rpm HDs in under 1hr. i do have a very fat pipe on my cable for downloads and can often see over 300kb/sec so that helps with the apt-get installs and updates. |
I, unfortunately, only have two boxes. On this box, I am very much loyally married to Slackware, and the other is only a Pentium 2, 233MHz.

even the P2 should be enough power... is slack apt-get or yum?
in either case you might be able to get kde, kaffeine, and the codec packs working for you in the way that howto discribes, you would just have to spend the time researching your source.list or yum.conf for getting the dinnaries you need/want. |
Been on linux now for 6 days my knoleg=dged of dos is 10 prnt"something"
etc so really struggling thank god for google might sound dumb but whats slackware? |

I decided to try out using mplayer with dvd://2 instead of dvd://1, and I got a new error:
Code:
Playing dvd://2. |
im not sure if this helps but i use mepis 2004.04 and to get dvd playback for xine this is what i did:
apt-get install libdvdread3 then in konsole as root i did the following: /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh when done i put in a dvd and it played brilliantly good luck |

side note:
for any users who are running a distribution that can install RPM packages, go here and install the RPM's provided. This will take care of your DVD issues, or at least it should.. http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/xine/ -myk |
I followed the RPM instructions (given, I used Slackware's rpm2tgz tool) to get Xine running... No dice. In fact, the GUI pops up for just a second then the program exits--no error message or anything.
Edit: Also, just for kicks and giggles, I used regionset to set my DVD drive's region to one (the region for American History X), and that didn't help either. |
hey did u setup ur xine? i mean fine u got it install no problem from source or rpms cool, but within xine there's also a setup have u try that?

Any updates on this?
I'm now getting the same problems as Adrohak has described on several threads. I'm using SUSE 9.1. I have had DVDs working previously - even encrypted ones, but a new one I got for xmas won't work. I'm not sure what's going on. I also updated to the latest MPlayer (pre 6) hoping that would fix it, but it's the same errors as the pre5 I was running previoulsy. I'm pretty sure that decss is installed OK. In a terminal I entered export DVDCSS_VERBOSE=2 and it seemed to get through the keys OK. Code:
libdvdcss debug: opening target `/dev/dvd' Any thoughts? TIA ws |
