Hello out there!
Been around the block trying to get DVD support for Totem, but I keep running into dead ends everywhere I go. Looking for CentOS 5.1-compatible xine and xine-lib packages as that seems to be the answer, but the only ones I find (like on DAG) seem to be just dead links or I get a message that the mirrors are unavailable when I try to run the rpm.
your problems with xine from rpmforge must have been temporary network issues, the packages exist and work fine. xine will give you access to the DVD menus, sometimes this is very useful. Otherwise mplayer is great (but it doesn't do menus). I wouldn't fight to get totem working... cheers,
