Bob, I just got it working again, here's what I did: After visiting the xine homesite, I wound up at freshrpms.net and started downloading packages... my first attempt ran into dependancy failures, so I added a freshrpms.repo file to my /etc/yum.repos.d directory and imported their GPG key and then the following command grabbed everything I needed (FWIW, I don't know that I needed all of these, but didn't want to go through the add one at a time and test deal...): yum install xine xine-lib xine-skins libdvdcss libdvdnav libdvdplay libdvdread In addition it installed aalib, libXvMCW and libfame... (I really like how yum handles dependencies!) It's now playing "The Polar Express" and working like a champ. (I grabbed a recently purchased DVD to test...) Hope this helps you out, I don't recall which distro you're using, but freshrpms supports a lot of different update methodologies. Hope this helps, Richard Wilson --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
