anybody know whats going on?

it's telling you that you should be using mplayer instead.

Re: dvd's wont play in xine
 

What dvd plugin? Or are you referring to xine as the plugin? More details please on exactly you installed.

Like whansard said, mplayer is a better alternative.. :)

i was referring to the dvd plugin for xine.

but i installed mplayer and when i tried to play a dvd it just froze up on me.

is there any way to diagnose this? how do i run mplayer from the command line?

mplayer from the command line
mplayer -dvd 1

for first title i think, try numbers after that if necessary.

yeah if you can get mplayer to install. Everytime I try to install it, it says it needs Mplayer-common, then when I try to install mplayer common, it says it needs mplayer. How is that useful?

the mplayer people did that. it's giving lots of newbie's
trouble.

use all the packages on the same line or use --nodeps

rpm -i mplayer.rpm mplayer-common.rpm

seems like it might have been three files, but i can't
remember. put them all on the same install line tho.

ok, here is a bit more information about what is going on

i tried to play the dvd with mplayer and it filled the cache to liek 19\%, then it just sat there for a while, then the screen went all black, then after about a minute it kicked out of that and showed this in command:

(this is just a short clip, it was this about 100 times at least)

and its not like its a burned dvd. playing a brand new one straight from the package


any ideas?

sig11 is a hardware error. your disk or your drive, or
drive controller. somewhere in that line.

do you know how to fix it? it played dvds in windows so i'm going to assume that its not the drive or dvd
