Hello,

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!

Another thought also, is do you have libdvdcss installed on all 3 machines?

If not it might explain why you can play your homemade dvd's, but can only
play some commercial dvd's on the one machine that you may have libdvdcss
installed on.

Libdvdcss is needed for playing encrypted dvd's, and synaptic shows it as
the package libdvdcss2

Nigel.


Great, thank you!
I installed the libdvdcss2-dev with aptitude and it works just fine.
