Hello all,
As I've done a new install (9.2rc1) I also had to reinstall xine (and
thus decss)

The problem is I can read most of my (encrypted) older dvd's but some
of the latest ones will not load.

Whatsup? Have they found a new way of encrypting dvd's?
Or did I miss something?
Anybody any idea's.

TIA,
HarM


Did you add plf in as a source? There are the same magic decoders as
always. Maybe some you haven't installed yet?

I'd try it first anyway.

Yup, got the plf as main and contribs too.....using cooker rpms.
Point is I can read last years DVD's like "Lord of the rings" et all but not my latest buys.
Somehow they don't want to be read. One of them is double DVD with a TV serie (Sandokan) on one and the resulting movie on the other.
Tv-serie runs fine, movie wil not.


Thanks,
HarM



I'm guessing here, but it sounds as though whatever programme you are using to play the dvd's is reading the wrong tack maybe ? If you are using mplayer for instance you can call the app. with either ,
gmplayer -dvd 1<2,3,4,etc> if it's the old version you have, or,
gmplayer dvd://1<2,3,4,etc> if it's a newer version.


They really don't have international standards as far as track layouts are concerned and sometimes it is just a question of rumaging around to find the right track number.
At least eliminate that first.


If that is not the case I would suspect, since you are able to play some dvd's and not others that it is not a libavcodec problem, to supply dcss encription.

If so then I would start to suspect the regional setting of your dvd. Care is needed as you can only change it 5 times, or so I'm told, and to avoid that plf have their regional decrypt thing , which does not seem to work with my CVS version of mplayer, but may well work with yours if you have the standard M9.1 install with updates from plf. I probably need to compile my CVS version with some unknown flag to make it addopt the regional decrypt package, I donn't know.Any suggestions ?

You mention a double dvd , it shouldn't make any difference, provided you have dcss encryption installed.I have many such dvd's and they both play , though the actual film is often the only one encrypted.
