it seems that i've been beaten by mark on the drm issue. anyway, with the
right codec, ie:
- x264
- libvorbis
- libtheora
- win32codecs
- ffmpeg
- xine-lib
- kaffeine
you'll be able to play all the files that aren't drm protected. here are the
use flags that i use and they work, usually. i use paludis and i've
generated the package description with it. what the lines mean are:
* name of the package
overlay from which i've picked it (first is gentoo then the other
overlays)
installed shows the version istalled
Description: descripts the package
Homepage: tells the website of the project
Relevant use flags: (aaaaaaaa) (-bbbbb) mean that aaaaa is enabled while
bbbbb is disabled
source repository tells what overlay have i picked the installed version
installed time; installed using; license are aditional informations on the
packages.
anyway just pick these packages, even from gentoo main repository, use my
use flags, install them in the order upside, and then if the video isn't drm
protected then it will work.
