Good day, Packmans! I have a question, and this seems like a good place to ask it.
I have an older box that was running Leap 15.3, but today, I upgraded it to 15.4 because Leap 15.3 is no longer supported. This machine has an older model AMD/ATI Radeon 600 series graphics card. This machine also has an HD BDROM drive that I sometimes used to play regular DVDs with VLC. To do that under 15.3, all I had to do was install the libdvdcss2 library. (I found a repo for that one.) I have been down a big rabbit hole today trying to get VLC to play DVDs under 15.4! From what I understand, I need to install a package called mesa-vdpau. Then I should be able to get it to work with the VDPAU drivers. (I would need to set a couple of environment variables.) However, from what I understand, support for this package has now been dropped due to software patent concerns, and is no longer available for Leap 15.4. I have tried to play DVDs with both the packman and the flatpak versions of Kodi, but no luck. However, I note that on my other 15.4 machine, this way works fine with a standard DVD drive. All I need is a way to play regular DVDs under Leap 15.4 on this machine with an HD BDROM drive. Does anyone have any suggestions? Alternatively, is building a mesa-vdpau package the way to handle this one? (Even if it means I would have to be the package maintainer?) Regards, Steven. _______________________________________________ Packman mailing list [email protected] https://lists.links2linux.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman
