RE: [LUG] Watching DVD's

["Julian Hall" <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On my system I did a full install of Mandrake 9.0 (not knowing any better)
and Xine worked out of the box.  However no sooner did I choose a custom
install later, Xine refused to work at all.  So I ended up using Ogle.  That
works every time, but always initially with the same problem.

Having problems with it in that it plays DVDs perfectly with one teeny tiny
lil problem.  No sound.

I've a feeling it has something to do with ALSA as the last time I had this
I corrected it by accident while trying to get my TV card working.  No I
don'y know what I did :/

Kind regards,

Julian

PS:  Someone suggested recently (and I apologise for forgetting who) that I
check the GATOS site for my TV card.  Unfortunately that's where I got the 6
pages of instruction that scared the living daylights out of me! :)

ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/8.2-i386/RPMS.packman-i686

has most of the nessesary xine files,completely remove the suse xine setup
as
it it interferes with the packman rpms.

think the decss rpm for encrypted DVDS lives in the same ftp site but in
earlier distro's folders or if memory serves -suse-people/kraxel directory.

cheers,
