When I put the DVD in the player, I get a pop-up with the option to play it with Kaffeine. If I select that, I get -- "The version of Xine (used by Kaffeine) has only a reduced set of supported codecs. It is not able to play DVDs." "Read //en.opensuse.org/XINE for further details" When I go to that opensuse web page, it basically says you can't get there from here, so to speak. I know that's not the case since many of you guys are playing DVDs, so what else do I need to do to get this beast to work.
