Re: [expert] DVD stuff
To define urpmi sources you can use wonderful web: http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/urpmiweb.php At the end it will tell you the commands to add all selected sources (remember to do a urpmi.removemedia -a first). Anyway I remember I had some problems with some plf mirrors as they seemed to have only 9.x rpms (I'm still in 8.2). The mirror I have selected is: ftp://ftp.club-internet.fr/pub/linux/plf/8.2 Let's know how this suits you...

I tried to use xine + a I had xine working yesterday :( Have had some bad experiences with having to reinstall and crashes. I'm limping along, trying to update, but it seems mplayer is a fine product, and you might have good luck to it. BTW I've had a DVD / cd rw for a couple of days now :). I just now tried to urpmi xine and got a wierd conflict in that the miror I was using (time4t.net -- plf) wanted a certain version for a xine library and the xine library it had was a later version (9.0 plf, that is). To me, installing xine is a little confusing, but I've made it work before. There are a number of supporting libraries you need, but if you just do 'urpmi xine' it's unclear which. >Jim C.

Re: [expert] DVD stuff
Is it crashing when at dvd menu or while at film? To play menus you need xine-dvdnav plugin. I have a Mandrake 8.2 and see DVD with no problems at all. If I do (as root): rpm -qa | grep xine I get the following list of installed packages: xine-win32-0.9.13-3plf libxine0-0.9.13-3plf xine-ui-0.9.13-2mdk xine-esd-0.9.13-3plf xine-oss-0.9.13-3plf xine-divx4-0.9.13-3plf xine-xvid-0.9.13-3plf xine-dvdnav-0.9.13-1mdk libxine0-devel-0.9.13-3plf xinetd-2.3.7-1.1mdk xine-aa-0.9.13-3plf xine-plugins-0.9.13-3plf xine-dxr3-0.9.13-3plf xine-d5d-0.2.7-2plf xine-faad-0.9.13-3plf xine-ui-aa-0.9.13-2mdk xine-arts-0.9.13-3plf libxine0-docs-0.9.13-3plf xine_d4d_plugin-0.3.2-2plf Anyway, give a try to se what gmplayer says, it is a really good player. Xine has better user interface (at least to me) but it seems gplayer has more resistent codecs (they suffer less corruptions found in the stream). If you can't get anything neither with Xine nor Gmplayer, it's probably a device config problem, so if so post detailed error message of both players. Good luck.

Set up a "plf" source with the page http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon and get the RPMs you need for Xine from there, including the libdvdcss2 RPM if the DVDs you're trying to play are encrypted ones. You'll also want to get the "xine-dvdnav" RPM and a few others; before you install anything from there specifically, though, run "urpmi --auto-select" with the PLF source having been set, to update your existing Xine stuff to the PLF versions thereof. You can browse the PLF collection of RPMs for Mandrake 9.1 (i586) at: http://mirrors.zoreil.com/www.plf.org/9.1/i586 PLF also has RPMs for Mplayer, which plays DVDs nicely, and you may have better luck with those ... there appears to be no Mplayer equivalent to the "dvdnav" Xine plugin which allows you to use the DVD's "menu" screens, though. IMHO, that's a small sacrifice to make if you prefer the job that Mplayer does of displaying the movie itself (some do, some don't). It will also utilize the libdvdcss2 decryption library if it's installed, IIRC.

OK, so I've got a DVD player in my server and in one of my client systems. I've never used them for more than reading CD roms though. Today I got a wild hare and decided to try one.
