Hi all!
I'm trying to finish setting up my newly upgraded C7 system.
It's on the same hardware I ran C6 on for several years. on C6 I had no trouble playing DVDs (after installing tons of packages and libdvdcss).
Well, on C7, I've got totem (videos) and all its plugins I can find via yum, VLC (from nux) all the gstreamer and gstreamer1 packages I can find, everything with "dvd" in its name, including libdvdcss from nux.
vlc will kinda play movies, i.e., moving garbage appears on the screen, sometimes it'll resemble something from the movie, but most of the time not so much. I can't figure out what's missing here.
Totem played a movie for me this afternoon, flawlessly, but now I can't get it to do anything. sometimes it starts up as a plain gray box with no borders, no controls, no nothing, and has to be killed. sometimes it draws the player controls but never starts playing.
I've got two DVD drives, one of them replaces a broken one, but the other one has been there for 2-3 years.
I've been googling for hours, but haven't turned up anything that I haven't already tried.
I'd appreciate suggestions. thanks in advance!
here's some yum listings of things I have installed:
