DVDs recorded from TV with a normal DVD-recorder can be played
correctly.

But some commercial DVDs can only be played on one of them.

Following error (translated message) occurs on the other two computers:

Source cannot be read.
No sufficient rights or no data on source
xine: cannot find plugin for MRL [dvd:///dev/hdc]
xine: plugin cannot open MRL [dvd:///dev/hdc]

Do you have in your /etc/apt/sources.list a line like:

deb http://debian-multimedia.org etch main

You see, the commercial DVDs use non-free encodings that can't be used
in debian proper. So debian-multimedia has packages. If you look at
the depencencies and recommends of the DVD playing packages (and their
libs), if you aren't using debian-multimedia you may see some that say
"unavailable". (I use aptitude interactive; I don't know how to look at
this from the command line).

I am afraid, this may not be the reason, because all three computers are
using the same sources.list:


deb http://debian-multimedia.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/ etch main
is where I am getting no free stuff.

Anyway, thank you!

I just Googled mrl plugin, and havn't got far down the list yet, but someone
is having a similar problem with Shoutcast streams, admittadly on Ubuntu.
Here it appears to be a bug in libxine, bit doesn't explain why one of your
machines has no problems, and the other 2 do. Anyway this is the link.

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xine-lib/+bug/50734

Hope I've copied that correctly. It's on the other machine, and the text is
small.
