Need help with xine
 

I am still a linux newbie but figured out how to install xine using rpm's from the command line. I can't figure out to load files into it to play them. By accident I found I could play a dvd by clicking on nav which would load it. Also, after I put a dvd in it, I can't get it to eject. Pushing the eject button on my dvd drive does nothing, even though it works fine in windows.

Also, how do I make a shortcut to xine in my kde menu? I can't figure out where the rpm's installed the program.

I have been playing around with it and I figured out how to play the files you want. I just changed the program you open certain files with to xine. It appears from inside the program xine itself there is no way to open a file. So I just click on the file in my kde.

So now I can play dvd's, xvid's, divx's, mpeg's, and avi's.

The only thinkg I need to figure out now is how to make a shortcut to xine in my kde menu and my desktop.

Hi jbeedham!!!

I've just replied another thread of yours up there that you might find interesting.
I'm glad you are learning xine. To eject a cdrom, you could type:

eject

at the command line. If that does not work, it means you don't have the package eject or that a program is still holding use for the cd rom device.
To mount a CD rom, if you don't have automount installed, you can type at the console:

mount /mnt/cdrom

Good luck
