i've tried install some different players (ogle, mplayer, livid and i think its something like vnlan), but i always get some error, i have xine, and some different frontends for it installed, but when i try to install libdvdcss for kaffeine it doesnt work, then i tried navdvd for the xine player, but i got an error while installing that so i was just wondering if any1 knows any different players that work well, or how to get xine or kaffeine working
Have a look at the packman repository, which offers many multimedia-related packages. Get rid of the SUSE packages first, as they may be restricted in use due to copyright reasons.
If you *do* have libdvdcss, check in the xine engine setup for Kaffeine, that you have the correct source for the DVD media. I spent a couple of days of abject frustration getting error messages telling I had "inadequate rights" to access my DVDs, when the actual problem was I needed to change the default DVD player in xine from /dev/dvd to /dev/cdwriter, my combo DVD/CD-RW .
I'm running the latest updates for Kaffeine, libxine1, W32codec-all and libdvdcss2, and it all works great.
Pacman is a great place to find things. Since the process of getting it to work is a little envolved you may find the following site more helpful because its only purpose is playing commercial DVDs.

Know for sure that Packman provides a great service to the Suse users. Without his support Suse linux multimedia would be sorely lacking. Thanks Packman! http://packman.links2linux.org/
I make regular trips to packman and guru, frequently using what they offer. They are both Linux generalists. I have found a site that is a DVD movie specialist and it has served me well in that capacity -- including libdvdcss.
