New to linux using mandrake 10.1, downloaded m player, i put the dvd in the disc read light flashed sounds like it's reading the disc but the window goes blank and nothing happens, i get no error codes, then i can't close the windows for mplayer down. I tried useing totem but after i put the dvd in a message comes up saying that totem must close unexpectedly. Any ideas guys,
thanks
how are you running it? from the command line? gmplayer?
I basically open mplayer in multimedia and put the disc in, right click open disc. Am i missing something really basic?
try running it from the command line:
Code:man mplayer
Is the DVD copy protected? If so, you'll need to install libdvdcss to decode the encryption on the DVD.
I'm having a hell of a time getting mplayer to work for some odd reason (see post in multimedia), however, Kaffeine and Xine work fine.
Go figure.
