Xine no longer plays DVDs (it terminates after a few seconds).

TheNutCase · 05-31-2017, 09:09 PM

My operating system is Slackware 14.2 (64-bit), and has 32 gig of memory. When I try to play DVDs, it playes them for a few seconds - and then terminates. I tried running it in terminal mode, and got the following output

Code:

Dang, xine seems to have a lot of problems other media players don't have. Seems like DVDs always just work in my VLC and mplayer builds. Anyway, let's see if we can solve this...

According to this thread, someone having a similar problem was able to solve it by calling the dvd drive using dvd:///dev/sr0 (replacing sr0 with your specific drive). They had a few extra options in their command and other than the --no-splash, I don't know what they do. I'm including them anyway.

Code:

xine -pfhq --no-splash dvd:///dev/sr0

What version of libdvdcss are you using? A user a while back had this problem and he solved it by downgrading libdvdcss to version, I think 1.2.13 or 1.3.99

1.3.0 solved MANY problems for me. 1.3.99 was (I believe) a beta for 1.4.0.
