Brand New DVD Error (I cannot get Xine to play DVDs)
I've yet to be able to watch DVDs in Linux. I have a DVD drive that can read the DVDs.
When I try playing the DVD in Mplayer, I get nothing. Code:
Playing dvd://1. Code:
libdvdread: Get key for /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.VOB at 0x0000013a In order to rule out the 'rights' option, I tried playing the DVD as root; I got the same results. If any of you could help me watch DVDs under Linux, I would greatly, greatly appreciate it. |
compile and install libdvdcss, and you should be fine.Xine is unable to read encrptyed DVD's by default, due to licensing issues, but installing the de-css library will take care of that .

do u have the latest version of xine n its dependencies? new movies have different encryption
|
I downloaded and compiled from source libdvdcss 1.2.8 and xine-lib-1-rc7 and the DVD still didn't get past the 'opening' video. I then downloaded and compiled from source libdvdread 0.9.4; no success after that, either. One thing I noticed with libdvdread was that the Freshmeat page for it says the package has not been updated in over three years; if new DVDs have new encryption methods, how can a program that hasn't been updated in over three years crack them? I couldn't find a newer version that 0.9.4, though.
Also, on my Matrix Revolutions DVD, Xine can't even play the opening. :( Edit: Mplayer still doesn't even play the opening video on any of my DVDs, by the way. |
regarding the supposed new encryption, is this true? How do older home dvd players play dvd's if a new decrytion method is needed? I can read the newest Matrix without any problem, as well as Shrek 2, and several other new movies.
maybe one of these will help: http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=04/08/26/1247243 http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...ckware&spell=1 -myk |

looks like your setup can't unencrypt the DVD. Does this happen with all DVDs?

If it's any help, I decided to tail -f my syslog as I attempt to play a DVD with xine. This is the output:
Code:
Nov 20 08:32:49 slackbox kernel: I/O error: dev 0b:00, sector 12900792 Code:
Nov 20 08:34:37 slackbox kernel: I/O error: dev 0b:00, sector 41568 |
WOOHOA
:eek: I have that same f'ing problem!!! i'm SICK OF LINUX!!! :scratch:
i needs help |
I saw in another thread dealing with DVDs that xine can be used with the --verbose argument to make the output, well, more verbose.
Here's the output of 'xine --verbose' after I click "DVD": Code:
libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.8 for DVD access What would cause libdvdcss to error out like that? Footnote: I had the same errors as root, so this is not a permission problem. |
No ideas? :(

I`ve just tried to install mplayer from the link and got this msg:
make -C libavcodec all make[1]: Entering directory `/home/nige/downloaded/ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1/libavcodec' gcc -O3 -g -Wall -DHAVE_AV_CONFIG_H -I.. -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -c -o ffv1.o ffv1.c ffv1.c: In function `encode_rgb_frame': ffv1.c:465: internal compiler error: in find_function_data, at function.c:319 Please submit a full bug report can anyone help plz. |
i am not sure this is really going to help, but if you are willing to give it a try i know this works and works well with all kinds of DVDs both old and new:
http://www.sunstatemartialarts.com/debian_media.html this is a walk though on how to install and configure a Debian Sarge distro to be a media box. this setup goes all the way to include setting up the s-video on an Nvidia card along with setting up the desktop manager (KDE in this case) the media player (Kaffeine) how to configure the codec, everything. as for your errors, if you have the libdvdcss(or libdvdcss2 depending on your distro) and the win32 codec pack i have no other solution then to ask you to read the above link and see if that might help a bit. best of luck. |
No i can`t get it to work i`m using suse 9.0 pro and really struggling
