Xine won't play unencrypted dvd files off of hard drive


Xine attempts to decrypt unencrypted dvd images and folders on my harddrive, and fails. It plays actual dvd's fine.

To play a dvd I create a symbolic link to my dvd drive, /dev/hdc as /dev/dvd
and type:
xine dvd://

To play a dvd image or folder I create a symbolic link to my folder, iso or whatever,
ln -s /home/name/Ripped_DVD/ /dev/dvd
or:
ln -s /home/name/Ripped_DVD.iso /dev/dvd
or mounted iso:
mkdir Ripped_DVD_mnt
mount -o loop /home/name/Ripped_DVD.iso /home/name/Ripped_DVD_mnt
ln -s /home/name/Ripped_DVD_mnt/ /dev/dvd

then to play either of the 3 above:
xine dvd:///home/name/Ripped_DVD_mnt/

I get a complaint about not being able to decrypt the keys, and possibly not being able to read the media, which is BS because the rights are correct, and it does the same as root.

either of the 3 above work fine with:
xine /home/name/Ripped_DVD_mnt/

All I want to do is play ripped DVD files on my harddrive fullscreen with menus. I can do any combination of 2 of the 3, but not all 3 at once.

Does anyone know how to do this with xine?

P.S.
ogle does this all fine, but doesn't do fullscreen.

One of my problems was that the dvd copy I was playing was bad. I have no idea why it would not work before, but it all works fine now. Weird. The only thing I have done since before trying this copy is I recompiled different versions of xine, libdvdcss, and libdvdnav. Thats strange, but it works. My IR controlled DVD video server is complete! muhahahaha
