libdvdcss-debuginfo-1.2.10-6.17.x86_64

I open kaffeine and click on play DVD. Get the following error
message: cannot find input plugins for MRL (DVD:/)

searched YaST for MRL and kaffeine*, only KDE4 showing are two rpms
above. Does anyone know where this plugin comes from?

Have all packages suggested in how to installed from packman.

Any help will be appreciated.

I’m running an ASUS M4A785-M 64 bit motherboard, on which i’ve installed
Opensuse 11.2 KDE4.

I have one DVD ROM drive, and 1 CDRW drive. These are only optical drives
installed.

I have all the files from the one-click multi media .ymp file installed.

Kaffeine can find and play audio CD files from the CD drive. It cannot find
either CD or DVD files on the DVD drive. I get the same message as above
whenm I try to play something in the DVD Drive - cannot find input plugins
for MRL (DVD:/). This is true with both DVDs and CDs under Kaffeine.

I suspect we both have the same problem.

I see that the DVD shows up under /media when it is installed but Kaffeine
can’t find it at all.

Suggestions?

This link should provide an almost one-click solution: http://opensuse-community.org/codecs-kde.ymp

As I said when I replied to the first post (using my wife’s computer) I had already installed the one click files.

It seems to be related to Kaffeine not being able to find the DVD.

Just check where the settings are point to for the drive and how your cd/dvd device is seen by your system

For example I saw a thread recently where kaffeine was looking for /dev/cdrom or something like that
but it needed to point to /dev/sr0

my kaffeine litterally plays anything, it’s not packman either

Yesterday, I installed openSUSE 11.2 on a box with two optical drives, along with the additions required for multimedia. One drive plays DVDs, but the other gives the “Cannot find input plugin for MRL [dvd:/]” message. I can change which one works by swapping the IDE connectors. The one on the second IDE channel works. When I have time, I’ll put them as master and slave on the same channel to see if they both work.

My suggestion, as long as you do not mind opening the box, is to try changing the IDE channel. Of course, you may be using USB or Firewire, in which case this is not very helpful advice…
