[SOLVED] Need help with reading DVDs with xine.

TheNutCase · 06-21-2016, 06:26 PM

Whenever I try to view a DVD using xine (from the terminal), I get the following output:

bash-4.2$ xine
This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.7.
(c) 2000-2010 The xine Team.
libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable.

The thing is that it plays the "introduction" part without any problem, but goes no further then that

.

What is the cause, and how do I go about correcting it?

Never mind, I did some checking, and discovered that I needed libdvdcss.

Have you installed libdvdcss? It is necessary to decrypt dvds. You can get it, among other places, from slackbuilds.org
