DVD movies with xine
Got my xine to play encrypted dvd’s on my home pc!
I had the xine and xine-dvdnav packages installed, but it refused to play CSS encrypted VOB-files. So I tried to install libdvdcss2. This library needed libdvdread2. However, I probably downloaded the wrong version, because when I tried to install that, it complained about me having a too old libc6 version.
I didn’t what to update that, so I tried something else… and I found the d4d plugin. Just ./configure; make; make install.
Yeah right…!
./configure complained because it couldn’t find xine-config… Heck, I don’t now where to get that! Well, apparently, xine-config comes with the libxine-dev package… of course!
Next, make.
I don’t know whether it’s me, or my computer’s configuration, or just a stupid error in the d4d plugin source code… but you can’t write
this->input_plugin.dispose = dvd_plugin_dispose;
if the struct type of input_plugin does not have a member “dispose”.
The compiler thought so too.
Soooo… I commented out the above line of code… and it compiled!
I wonder how many SEGFAULT’s I’m going to get because of that, but at least I could watch the Ice Age dvd, on my pc, in Debian, with xine.
By the way, I do have a stand-alone dvd player connected to my tv… but that’s beside the point!
