hi

i did an hdinstall, and then i used apt-get to get the testing version of xine-ui, everything downloaded nicely.  when i put in a movie dvd and tell xine to play it, it always craps out.  basically a bunch of errors, some mention of it not wanted to play encrypted dvd's, and then an assertion failure on a read call (ive included the errors at the end of the message).  note this is not an illegally hacked dvd, this is an original genuine dvd.  

also i found that debian doesnt support mplayer, which used to play movies on my previous system fine.  

how do you guys watch movies?

thanks
gong

Gong,

Due to licencing issues in the United States, Xine does not include the necsisary librarys to properly decode encrypted DVD's, however you can get around this by downloading, and compiling on your system a package called libdvdcss, from I believe, Denmark. Just do a Google search for it. I doubt that you will find it in the Debian Repository, but you could try. I hope this is clear as mud now.

hi joel

thanks for the advice!  i downloaded mplayer from marillat.free.fr which also has the dvdcss2 library, and now its playing movies under xine, which is great.  however they're awfully choppy, im using Xvesa and i noticed that the drive is under ide-scsi, and Xv is not included in dsl; these are all mentioned in the xine faq, so i'll address them.  any other suggestions would be appreciated, and thanks for the info

You may want to look at the Ogle player, this has worked for both encrypted & non-encrypted discs.
