For some this my be old news but for me it's new so don't rain on my parade ookay! Anyways I have a great DVD player recommendation for those looking for a Linux DVD player other then XINE. Someone reccomended Ogle in a newsgroup I was reading because another person was looking for a software DVD player that was a little more polished then XINE. I also decided to take this persons advice and said what the hell and decided to give Ogle a try. I followed the instruction and download the RedHat rpms and used them in my SuSE 7.3 install and everything installed okay. First attempt at run Ogle was not succesful because apareantly it looks for a file called libglade.so.0 in /usr/bin/ but that file in SuSE is located in /opt/gnome/lib/. So I created a sym link from /opt/gnome/lib/libgalde.so.0 to /usr/bin/ like so:
ln -s /opt/gnome/lib/libglade.so.0 /usr/bin/
and after that everything worked fine. I launched it from the prompt at first and then later created a link to my menu after I made sure that it worked okay enough to use it. So far have had no major problems with it but like all DVD players in Linux it is a work in progress but I can tell that it is heading towards greatness IMHO. Overall I think it's way more polished then XINE IMHO but not as polished as some Windows DVD players but it heading towards being my main DVD player of choice under Linux and SuSE for sure.
Here's the link to there website: http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd/ if you have any problems be sure to suscribe to their mailing list and make sure you don't forget mount your DVD drive as well!! mount /dev/dvd or mount /dvd or mount /mnt/dvd etc......you get the point!!!
