After the RPM's for various players messed me around for a whole week, I got Mplayer 0.90 working using just the tarball from the mplayer site (http://www.mplayerhq.hu). Just one file, nothing else! Their code includes libdvdread and libdvdcss, which they fixed up, too (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/cd-dvd.html#dvd). Since I use RH7.3, I had to get gcc 3 first. In addition to that, all the normal stuff, such as convincing RH7.3 to use DMA for the drive and so on. MPlayer runs just fine from the command line, didn't get round to installing skins and Mosaic/Netscape plugin yet. When you got that working, let me know howto ;-) OT: RPM's are evil, and so is RH. Tried to upgrade my kernel for five nights in a row, and got kicked of very time after 30 min cause I'm not a paying member and their bandwidth is limited for for non-payers. Where another ten minutes the first night would have done it. I call that positively stupid. must run now Jaco
