Playing DVD in OpenSUSE 10.1

The default xine and xine-lib packages provided by SUSE 10.1 can't be used to play DVD. So you need to uninstall them and install the following packages :

  • libxine1-1.1.2cvs-060514.i586.rpm
  • xine-ui-0.99.4cvs-051003.i586.rpm
  • libdvdcss2-1.2.9-1.i386.rpm
  • w32codec-0.52-1.i386.rpm
You can find those packages at http://packman.link2linux.org

After that you can enjoy watching DVDs. :D

Playing MP3 Files in OpenSUSE 10.1

The default XMMS Library provided by OpenSUSE 10.1 doesn't have MP3 capabilities. In other words, you can't play MP3 files using the default XMMS library installed by OpenSUSE 10.1.

To solve the problem, I installed XMMS Library from http://packman.links2linux.org

Here is the filename :

xmms-lib-1.2.10-103.pm.1.i586.rpm

To install it, just use the following command :

# rpm -Fvh xmms-lib-1.2.10-103.pm.1.i586.rpm


After that command run without errors, you can play MP3 files.
