Hi there, Libcss isn't needed any more. Mplayer has it's own built in decoder now. It probably wasn't compiled in with the RPM (legal reasons?).
As I have said in previous mails about Mplayer... you will save yourself a lot of time just to compile it yourself. DeCss isn't linked, but built in afaik .. at least it's support is. By just installing the package will not ensure that you can play encrypted DVD's with a pre-built binary.

In my opinion there is none.. Mplayer builds to YOUR system.. depending on what software / hardware you have. It's not as simple as a simple binary, but a carefully built package designed for performance. You see, they could build DeCss supprt in, but what point does that have if a user doesn't even have a DVD player? Go tho the Mplayer site, download the tarball (new release today) and read the docs, and there should be no problems. Yes it does take time at first, I give you that, but at least then you have a working MPlayer ;-) Greetings Ralph -- Homepage: http://tuxpower.f2g.net/
