Hi,You don't have dcss encription.
I am trying to (finally) watch DVDs on my computer. I installed Xine and I got and installed the xine_d4d_plugin-0.3.2-2plf.i586.rpm packaed (from the plf site). This package yields the following information about itself:
It's a lot more complicated than just the one package.
I attatch a file of the install process that worked for me.

xine check

Anne: As user (not root) run 'xine-check'.
============
Suerte.
you have MTRR support and there are some ranges set.
[ good ] found the player at /usr/bin/xine
[ hint ] multiple xine executables found in your PATH
I have found more than one occurance of 'xine' in your PATH:
/usr//bin/xine
/usr/bin/xine
You have probably installed xine-ui more than once, or the directory
where you have installed xine occurs more than once in your PATH.
Technically, this is not really a problem, but it's probably
somewhat confusing, as it's not obvious, which xine you're using.
You should probably uninstall the copies that you don't use...
Further tests assume, you're using /usr//bin/xine
[OUCH!!] no xine-config on this machine.
This means that xine-lib is either not installed
or it is installed in a very unusual place.
So you should probably install xine-lib before running xine-check...
[ hint ] unable to determine plugin directory
I could not determine your plugin directory. That would be much
easier
if you had xine-config installed (see message above)...
Note that I could not check your xine plugins.
[ good ] /dev/cdrom points to /dev/cdroms/../ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd
[ good ] /dev/dvd points to /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd
[ hint ] DMA is disabled for your DVD interface.
This will probably result in a serious performance hit when
playing DVDs. You can issue the command
hdparm -d1 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd
as root to enable DMA. It would be wise to add this command to
some script that is executed executed at boot time.
Note that you probably have to set the DMA mode for your drive as
well.
Most DVD-ROMs work fine with multiword DMA mode 2. You can use
hdparm -d1 -X34 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd
(as root again) to set this mode. Maybe UDMA2 will give you even
better
performance, but it only works well with some controllers. You'll
probably need UDMA capable IDE cables for this mode. If you want
to try: make backups of your important data and type (as root again)
sync
hdparm -d1 -X66 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd
If your System still works fine after this, you probably want to keep
these settings (add them to some boot script).
If your system hangs or behaves very strangely after a few minutes,
you
should reboot immediately and never use this setting again on this
machine. Good luck ;-)
[ good ] found xvinfo: X-Video Extension version 2.2

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# xine-check
Please be patient, this script may take a while to run...
[OUCH!!] You're running me with root permissions?
You should definitely run xine as normal user, not root. Running it as
root will expose you to some severe security issues.
This script should run as the same user that you would use to run
xine. If you run me as root (as you currently are), I cannot check
if your real-life user has sufficient permissions...
Unless you want to recheck something with root permissions, you should
abort me now (press Ctrl-C) and run me from your usual account.

[ good ] you're using Linux, doing specific tests
[ good ] looks like you have a /proc filesystem mounted.
[ good ] You seem to have a reasonable kernel version (2.4.19-16mdk)
[ good ] intel compatible processor, checking MTRR support
[ good ] you have MTRR support and there are some ranges set.
[ good ] found the player at /usr/bin/xine
[ good ] /usr/bin/xine is in your PATH
[ good ] found /usr/bin/xine-config in your PATH
Usage: xine-config [OPTIONS] [LIBRARIES]

[--prefix[=DIR]]
[--exec-prefix[=DIR]]
[--version]
[--libs]
[--acflags]
[--cflags]
[--plugindir]
[--datadir]
[--scriptdir]
[--localedir]
[ good ] plugin directory /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.0.0 exists.
[ good ] found input plugins
[ good ] found demux plugins
[ good ] found decoder plugins
[ good ] found video_out plugins
[ good ] found audio_out plugins
[ good ] /dev/cdrom points to /dev/cdroms/../scsi/host0/bus0/target2/lun0/cd
[ hint ] /dev/dvd is /dev/dvd, not a DVD device
/dev/dvd is the default device that xine uses for playing DVDs.
You could make your life easier by creating a symlink named /dev/dvd
pointing to your DVD device (something like /dev/scd0 or /dev/hdc).
If your DVD-ROM device is /dev/hdb (slave ATAPI device on primary bus),
rm /dev/dvd
ln -s hdb /dev/dvd
typed as root will give you the symlink.
Alternatively, you can configure xine to use the real device directly,
using the setup dialog within xine, but I can't check your DMA
settings in that case...
