I have FC5 and recently my DVD playback has tanked.
Both xine and mplayer (from livna and greysector repos respectively) act
like they cannot read the dvd fast enough. Xine plays for about 10
seconds and then freezes for a a second or two, plays some more and then
freezes again. Meanwhile the disk led is dark with minimal activity. The
same thing happens with a mounted DVD in the DVD-ROM drive. So it is not
my disk. Mplayer complains that "Your system is too SLOW to play this!"
It is a 800Mhz athlon with 256MB memory and a nvidia tnt2 AGP using the
nv driver. Although it is older machine, this system was great at
playing DVDs up until a couple of weeks ago. So I suspect a yum update
might have done something. Before this, I have been playing DVDs on it
happily for a couple of years from RH9, to FC4 and now FC5.
Anyone have some ideas for me to try oir areas to explore?
Try going into services and switch off all the useless deamons that seem
to be enabled by default. My DVD error messages seemed to stop when I
did this. It's worth a shot. Ric
