Hi Christian,
Is that a missing package from the Fienix repository? If so I can add it.

Maybe you could add the package libdvd-pkg.

I was able to install the package libdvd-pkg 1.4.2-1-1 (DVD-Video playing library -installer) on Fienix today. After that it automatically compiled the needed libraries for playing DVDs.

Hi All,

Could you please test a video DVD with VLC?

Playing DVD videos work on my X1000 but it doesn’t work on my X5000. libdvdcss is installed on both AmigaOnes.

Thanks,
Christian

tested playing DVDs:

1. Worked using SMPlayer in Feinix.
2. Did not work using VLC, VLC briefly shows a picture then crashes.

I tested the new VLC with some DVDs again today. Most of the DVDs are working. It seems it isn't a VLC issue. It's more an issue of the DVD drive.



SMPlayer is slow on my X5000. Which settings do you use for your SMPlayer?

For Void PPC:

Code: Select all

sudo xbps-install -S libdvdcss

libdvdcss is a simple library designed for accessing DVDs like a block device without having to bother about the decryption.
libdvdcss is released under the General Public License, ensuring it will stay free, and used only for free software products.
Unlike most similar projects, libdvdcss does not require the region of your drive to be set.
