DVD playback with Totem
 
Hi all, what plugins do i need to get Totem to playback my DVD movies?

I get this message when trying to play DVD's

Code:
Totem cannot play this type of media (DVD) because you do not have the appropriate plugins to handle it.

Please install the necessary plugins and restart Totem to be able to play this media.
Any suggestions? Thanx in advance!


Ps. I read some place i could install libdvdcss2 and the DVD playback would work with Totem. How can i do this with yum because it doesnt recognize it when i do yum -y install libdvdcss2

You need to add the required repository for install via yum to work. Take a look at the Fedora forum or wiki.

Try this;
Code:
echo -e "remove totem\n install totem-xine totem-xine-plparser libdvdcss libdvdnav xine-lib-extras-nonfree\n run\n quit" | yum -y shell
To play a DVD you have to go to the File menu and choose Open Location, and then type dvd:// into the box.
Check out VLC player,they say it's better.
