DSL can do DVD, can't it?Im a noob and I am stuck trying to configure the css library( i think, libdvdcss?) and can't quite figure out how to use tcc to compile it.
lil' help?

1. Download the codecpak.dsl from the repository.2. Click-n-Run
3. Enjoy..
If your using DSL-0.8.4, use your myDSL desktop icon.
Look in the "system" section.
Click on the "Get It" button for the codecpak.dsl

hey thanks but I already did that. the two error messages i get from xine are:"There is no input plugin available to handle dvd:/"
and
(/dev/dvd)
i thought at first i needed css stuff and then guessed i needed a symbolic link(???) since my dvd is cdrom1.
comments, questions, nasty remarks?

I first deleted the /dev/dvd file/device, then I did make a symlink from my /dev/cdrom1 to /dev/dvd .
Here is a screenie of my system playing a dvd LONG BEFORE
the codecpak.dsl was ever available... the date on the screen shows 6/04
Only the symlink was needed to make this play.

should i be able to use mplayer.dsl?

Hmmm.. your reply invokes a number of human responses...1. Curiosity - Did the xine not perform for you ?
2. Sassy - Any 3 year old should be able to use mplayer.dsl ..
3. Technical - The mplayer is compiled for MMX/SSE use -
P1/K5/K6 and earlier cpu's will not run ..
4. Directive - Without knowing more about your hardware/setup
it's anyone's guess..
5. Appreciation - "We have a nice consolation prize for you
backstage, and Thanks for Playing ...
W H E E L .... O F .... D S L ! "

Sassy!thanks for your help, i had to figure out how to "symlink" . had to delete the file first. it's kind of jumpy even after enabling dma. i'm on a P3 550 and thought it would play fine. and btw, we tried, and my 3-year-old couldn't use your extension. so there.

Using a smaller window seems to help with playback.Remember, there is no video graphics acceleration in DSL with the xvesa.
I have found that the mplayer.dsl is smoother than xine,
so give it a try.. should work with a P3-550
Now that the symlink is in place , it should function just like xine.
I'll make a note that the recommended age is 8-to-80

Also,I suspect that Xvesa will give better performance than xfbdev X Windows servers
So if you are using xfbdev, I would try out Xvesa and see if performance improves.

HiHere it is the specs of Geexbox mplayer version that runs in a P1-MMX. Perhaps may help to improve multimedia playing in dsl. Also the source code is avalaible at this address: < http://www.geexbox.org/archzoom/devel@geexbox.org--2004/mplayer >
