Playing DvDs

[jbaerbock]

I tried playing a DvD in Kaffeind and Codeine and in both it said error reading nav packet. Any idea how I can fix this?

Re: Playing DvDs

Have you installed all required packages for DVD playback?

[jbaerbock]

Re: Playing DvDs

As far as I know yes, I searched DvD on Synaptic and downloaded everything that looked relevant including various media players. Some wmv's and mpeg's I cannot play too. It seems as if it doesn't even read the dvd well and gives an error saying you may not have enough permissions. I will try going into root and changing permissions to my username and see if that helps.

Specifically have you loaded libdvdcss2?

Re: Playing DvDs

Yes, libdvdcss2 is the most important in regard to DVD playback.

Re: Playing DvDs

It looks like I don't and it dosn't even show up as an available package in Synaptic or Adept package managers...any ideas where I could get it?

Enable all repositories then install libdvdcss2. DVDs will now work in Kaffein.

Oh yeah, sorry libdvdcss2 is not in a repository.

If you have a standard 32bit PC paste these lines into konsole and press enter (one line at a time).

wget -c http://www.debian-multimedia.org/poo...2-0.0_i386.deb

sudo dpkg -i w32codecs_20061022-0.0_i386.deb

wget -c http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/d...2.1-1_i386.deb

sudo dpkg -i libdvdcss2_1.2.1-1_i386.deb

sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts ttf-xfree86-nonfree
