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...

urpmi.update plf

Should fix the version mismatches that you're seeing because it sounds
like the list of files your urpmi thinks is available on the plf site is
older than what's really there now.

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.

Re: [expert] DVD stuff

2003-07-18 Thread diego
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.

Disclaimer: Use of PLF packages may be frowned on in some jurisdictions
due to the naivete, ineptness, sloth, and/or purchasability of officials
thereof, and the specific laws that these sluggards may or may not have
already enacted or be currently considering. Discretion is advised. ;)

HTH!

Today I got a wild hare and decided to try one.  I tried to use xine + a
