Hey! I would like to make everyone aware that the latest mplayer ebuild (0.60) wont play back dvd:s (in my experience) since it depends on a "bad" version of libdvdcss. The 1.0 version of libdvdcss breaks dvd playback, please use 0.0.3.3 since it works like a charm! Reported by: Peter Stiernstr

does 0.0.3.3 work for every other packages (xine)? if so, we should mask 1.0 I tried to try it out, but it's sooooo slow before starting to actually play the film, why is that?
hey, I can confirm that libdvdcss version 1.0 does not allow me to play back dvds. I compiled version 0.0.3.3 which worked fine, then , when trying version 1.0 I get the following errors, although i did unmerge 0.0.3.3 before redoing 1.0. Encrypted VOB file (not compiled with libcss support)! Read file DOCS/cd-dvd.html Encrypted VOB file (not compiled with libcss support)! Read file DOCS/cd-dvd.html Before, not having installed libdvdcss at all, and using 1.0 i got the following error: libdvdread: Can't open libdvdcss: libdvdcss.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable. And then something about the IFO file of title 1 being not readable, or couldn't be found. I'm not sure anymore. I will look further into this problem, when time allows, maybe some ebuild is a little messed up. In the meantime, you might want to consider to make version 1.0. --ceed
It's me again! :) From the mplayer documentation (that cd-dvd.html mentioned in the error message :) * libdvdread 0.8 - you'll need libcss instead of libdvdcss * libdvdread 0.9 - you'll need libdvdcss 0.0.3 ! Don't use newer versions, they won't work! * For example never use libdvdcss 1.0, it will be unusably slow! (From: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/cd-dvd.html#4.2) --ceed
*** Bug 156 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Masked libdvdcss-1.0.0 until there is a fix for this.
Seemant, mplayer uses libdvdkit now .. this should really be fixed (think from 0.90_pre3 already).
Should be fixed as of 0.90 I think.
