Re: [LUG] XINE v Mandrake 9.0

[Julian Hall <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

Thanks for that Andy.

At the moment it "sort of" works if I select "NAV" instead of "DVD" in
Xine, but it plays part of the way through the film.  If I choose the
"DVD" button I get the error:

             - xine engine error -

       There is no input plugin available to handle
                'dvd://VIDEO_TS.VOB'.
Maybe MRL syntax is wrong or file/stream source doesn't exist.

I've had that consistently ever since trying to install Netscape 7
(which everyone says is totally unconnected, but I can't get away from
the fact that this started immediately after installing it, and I don't
believe in coincidences where PCs are concerned! :O))
