I've been having a problem with my xine installatin. I cant seem to get the DVDs to play. I have been successful at viewing avi files and mpegs, but no DVD. I get an error messege when I click on the DVD tab on the Xine interface. It says that there is no DVD plug-in installed. I installed dvdlib-0.1.3 and dvdnav-0.9.3 and still get errors. Plz someone help.

You'll need to install one of the 'legally-challenged' DeCSS plugins. Do a search on google for xine linux decss and you should get some help - its a plugin needed to view the CSS Encrypted DVDs.

Yup, it's libdvdcss I think is the name. Then you'll want to find the d4d and d5d plugins so you can get the DVD navigation ;)

Mahdi, I cant seem to find the d4d or d5d files. I already had the libdvdcss installed, but I updated to the latest version. I also installed the libdvdcss-devel too. I still get the error "there is no input plug-in avalible to handle dvd:/"

Which distro are you using? If its Red Hat 7.3 or 8, get yourself apt-get for RH. It exists, and after installation type in the command prompt apt-get install xine
that should install all of the DVD plugins as it did for me.

I get this when I run apt-get install xine

Reading Package Lists... Done
Collecting File Provides... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Bone
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
freeciv: Depends: /usr/bin/desktop-file-install
gimp: Depends: /usr/bin/desktop-file-install
gqview: Depends: /usr/bin/desktop-file-install
xboard: Depends: /usr/bin/desktop-file-install
xine: Depends: xine-lib (>=1.0.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends:libaa.so.1
Depends: libxine.so.1
E: Unmet depenencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I already ran apt-get -f install already and still get this message.

Besides the links at the bottom of the Xine download page, http://packman.links2linux.de/ is a good site.

Make sure the Xine/libdvdcss library paths are defined in /etc/ld.so.conf and then run ldconfig as root.

All you need to do is search Google for Linux.

One of the results for 'redhat d5d' (http://www.sweenytod.com/linux.html).

:confused: Try "apt-get install synaptic" This is a GUI frontend for APT which is very nice for using APT.

Using that, run the fix which will settle any dependancies that are hanging aroung. Saved me in a pinch once :)

Sorry MD, cant read german or whatever that is. I have searched for info before posting my thread. I just cant find the specific information that I need. I have tried everything that I have read that I think would help, but no results. Maybe I am not going about it correctly. I did find d5d, but it wouldnt install because I guess I didnt have the correct version installed or something. When I dl the version it was asking for, I wouldnt install. Got an error that says "recursive error" an stops there. I NEED HELP!

Best step at this point is to start over.

Find all the installed RPMs of Xine

rpm -qa|grep xine

and remove each one using the name that is displayed...

rpm -e xine-packagename


Did you install the RH8 apt-get and synaptic?
