So ive read about XINE and the Lib packages. I don’t know what im doing wrong but I just can’t get my DvDs to be able to play with Kaffeine. I would really like to be able to watch my dvds consider I do not have a dvd player and this is my only means of watching them. Anyways I am a utter linux newb in everyway. So please if your going to help me break it down into baby steps :P.
Im running a notebook with 4g ddr3 ram, dual core at 2,4ghz, and a Nvidia 9800m Gts graphics card. Ive downloaded all the required updates from YaST already and XINE still says that DVD codecs are unsupported. I need like a step by step process on how to fix this.
Go to YaST then Sotware Repositories then click Add at the bottom, tick community repositories then next tick videolan and also packman if you haven’t got it already. Install libdvdcss from Videlan repo and immediately delete/disable VideoLan repository .
Okay I got and did most of this. The only part I don’t know how to do is
Install libdvdcss from Videlan repo and immediately delete/disable VideoLan repository .
. When I got the Videlan repo did the libdcdcss dl automatically? Or is there something else I need to do. Enabling and Disabling seems pretty staight forward. I just click the repo on and off.
open Yast - Software - Repositories
Highlight the Videolan repo and uncheck refresh and enable
Now Open Yast - Software Management
and filter by repository and then select Packman
From the top select Packages tab and in the drop box do: Update all in this list Unconditionally
If there are errors and you can’t figure it out, save them to file with the expert button and post here. But you should look to allow changes to change Vendor to Packman.
