hello list, im trying to playback a movie on my debian lenny laptop. i know nothing about the dvd apps here so i went into add/remove applications and randomly installed the dvd playback apps i could find. mplayer, ogle, and xine.
mplayer: when i open a disk. [multiple disks already tried same result] i can here the drive spin up to max speed but nothing ever shows in the mplayer window. in fact the windows turn back. the only way to get out of it is a pkill mplayer. ogle: so far i like ogle the best, interface wise. the other two look like cheapo windows apps that get bundled when you buy a dvd drive. but sadly it fails at the task as well. for instance a doctor who disk will play the fbi warning, the production company name, and intro but when the menu is supposed to show the program craps out. trying again with a venture brother disk and ogle dies as soon as you open the disk. terminal belches this out: $ ogle WARNING[dvd_gui]: add_keybinding(): No such action: 'SaveScreenshot' WARNING[dvd_gui]: add_keybinding(): No such action: 'SaveScreenshotWithSPU' "disk open happens here" FATAL[ogle_mpeg_ps]: dvdreadblocks failed $ and finally xine: with the doctor who disk xine goes through the same pains as ogle. only at the point when ogle crashes xine tosses an error message saying: "the source cant be read. maybe you dont have enough rights for this or source doesnt contain data [eg not disc in drive] [error reading from drive] alternatively, venture brothers shows that at the moment of trying to play a dvd. whats the deal here? this machine hardware was more then capable of playback in windows, so whats needed to be done? does any dvd playback work? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
