Thanks for the clue - I guess I was pretty clueless about finding the source
on the Red Hat disk. After a bit of configuration effort, I got the also
drivers compiled and installed and, lo, my Sony plays CD's. Now I want it to
play DVD's - can't stand the fact that I can only do this on the Win ME side.
I've downloaded Xine 0.9.13 and its associated libraries, including the
decryption stuff that they don't include. When I try to play a DVD, I get
this 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.
Looking at the Xine configuration dialogs it seems that Xine doesn't know
that libdvdcss (v. 1.2.8) is installed, and I don't see a place to set this.
Anybody know how I do that? Another bit of info: although I've been able
to compile and install libdvdnav, I have not been able to compile the
xine-dvdnav plugin.
Thanks,
Vaughn
