Xine :(


Hi, Can somebody please explain/translate what 'There is no MRL' means. This appears in title bar when I open xine. Then when I mess about the following is displayed : -

There is no input plugin available to handle "dvd:/". Maybe MRL syntax is wrong or file/stream source doesn't exist

.......................Phew!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What xine is telling you it cant find a playable dvd. Run xine-sheck in terminal and post result this should tell you if anything is missing.

Regards

hmmm.. honestly I'm not sure to understand your problem... if you are trying to read dvd you need to make xine checks where your dvd drive actually is... ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/dvd will make a symbolic link between /dev/hdc and /dev/dvd and therefore xine will look there for dvd (by the way change hdc if your drive is something else but should be that...) and libdvdcss2 is a library that allows xine to decode dvd... you'll need it to play dvd. About installing it I don't know Mepis so I can't help you more but you may want to look for it...

sorry I saw that mepis is debian-based...
so just add deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main
to /etc/apt/source.list and apt-get update && apt-get install libdvdcss2

MRL is an anacronym for: media resource locater
which in real English means what sharkee wrote above.
