DVD's MP3, Music CD's wont play..

[poloman]

This are my little problems:
Right after I finished the installation, I restarted my laptop and noticed the sound was already installed which is a really good thing..
So what i did was to put a music cd [not mp3] in the drive and it play normally.. Then I tested a VCD movie and it played too..
But I inserted a regullar dvd movie Totem tells me:

The source is encrypted, and can't be read. Are you trying to play an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss

..

That as far as the DVD stuff goes..

now, I copied some mp3 files to the laptop, clicked on them to see if they would play; noatum opens, reads the title of song and stops suddendly..It won't play the song.
Someone told to install libarts-mpeglib, I tryed installing it, but it doesn't seem to be in the debian installation cd..

Any help will be greatly appreciated, drives me crazy not to be able to listen to my mp3!!

To play encrypted DVD you need a player that can decode them. The only option for the time being is to use libdvdcss. Check out the VLC page about installing it in Debian.

For Mp3 support, install liblame0. I'm pretty sure it should be in you apt sources alredy, but if not let us know and we can help there too.

I'm pretty sure libdvdcss is in a legal grey area because it works by breaking the encryption on the DVD. Intervideo is producing a legal DVD player for Linux, but it isn't available to the public yet.

Let us know how you get on,

to get dvds to work you need to install libdvdcss2. Because of legal reasons, it can't be included on offical debian cds. It can be downloaded from http://www.debian-multimedia.org/
Edit your

/etc/apt/sources.list

and add the line

deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sarge main

now you can install it.

You can play dvd movies with mplayer or ogle dvd player.

As "Vergil83" said, it's a must to have the Chistian Marillat's repository in your /etc/apt/sources.list file. At least if you want to make your system multimedia capable. In general, I install those packages from Marillat repository:

apt-get install \
alsa-base alsa-utils \ #alsa support
libfaad2-0 libmp4-0 \ #aac files decoding
libfaac0 \ #aac files encoding
xmms xmms-mp4 xmms-cdread xmms-skins \
alsamixergui \
toolame \
lame lame-extras \ #mp3 support and encoding
libdvdnav4 \ 
libdvdplay0 \ 
libdvdread3 \ 
libdvdcss2 \
w32codecs \ #misc proprietary codecs
ffmpeg \

I really would like to use VLC. I heard that it can play all kind of media, but i have a problem ...

I'm using Mepis 3.4-3 and i just can't install VLC due to dependency problems
(dep: libdvdread3 (>0.9.5) but 0.9.4-5.1 is going to be installed)...and so on

I have tried to compile, but no succes. Is this a Mepis-only problem ?

How are you trying to intall VLC? If you use apt-get, the dependencies you need should be installed for you.

What do you have in your /etc/apt/sources.list?

With those repositories, i never got such problems installing VLC:

#Local Mirror
deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sarge main non-free contrib
#deb-src ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sarge main non-free contrib

#Security
deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free

#Multimedia
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ sarge main
#deb-src http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ sarge main

If you have the VLC repository in your sources.list, then I guess anything can happen.

Oups... never mind this post, I didn't notice you were using Mepis.
