hello everyone again... got ANOTHER problem (oh the woes of Linux :/) DVDs will not play at all. I've tried everything I know without going out of my comfort zone - I presumed I could make it work in that zone because I've done it before! However, I can't. I had all the gstreamer plugins installed that it would allow, and several other packages related to dvd playback. I knew I also needed libdvdcss(2?) installed, but I can't find it in the repos. As I've also been having several issues with gstreamer, I replaced it with the xine engine, which claims everything comes bundled with it - but it still didin't work. Lastly I downloaded libdvdcss1.2.9.tar.gz from somewhere and ./configure, make, make install-ed it (only recently discovered that cos it never worked on my laptop!), and now the plugin/library thing resides in /usr/lib/local (I think - got no access currently to it). However, none of the dvd programs point to it to play back; xine asks for something to handle the MRL://, which I presumed it could already do as a media player, and totem asks if I'm trying to play a dvd without libdvdcss.
think I've just found the answer actually, but it seems a bit obvious so I'll post this anyway just to see what comes up :D Thanks =============================== Farran Lee I'm only 15 :-P
