I'm a new Lubuntu user, and am in the process of trying to get dvds to play. I have GNOME MPlayer and Dragon Player. I downloaded libdvdread4, no luck. I tried sudo chmod 660 /dev/sr0; chgrp cdrom /dev/sr0, as many people suggested, and even with sudo I got the error message: chgrp: changing group of `/dev/sr0': Operation not permitted. I'm at a loss for what to do next.
Disclaimer: This is only a guide on how I managed to successfully build the current MPlayer2 and SMPlayer on Crunchbang #! 64-bit stable. This probably will work on Debian Squeeze. I take no responsibility of any damage which following this guide may cause. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISKAll commands are done as your own user unless sudo is specified.
I installed Lubuntu 11.10 and I installed build-essential with this command:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Now I have gcc 4.6
I read on some forum that adding the next PPA I'll be able to install gcc 4.7:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
I did that, then ran:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.7
But my machine can't find the gcc-4.7 package?
on 10.04LTS, this worked fine ysterday, what happened???
$ sudo apt-get install mplayer
Reading package lists... Done

You can make MPlayer play h264-encoded video files a lot faster on multicore machines if you graft some libraries from the ffmpeg-mt project into the resulting mplayer binary. We need to recompile for this. First, use Subversion to download the code for MPlayer:
svn co svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer
mplayer2 is an advanced general-purpose video player. A fork of the original MPlayer project, it contains significant further development and supports a number of features not available in other Unix players.

Okay, so I've got a Blu-Ray disc. I've set up mplayer and the mount points and everything so when I type
mplayer -fs br:////mnt/blu/
it'll play the Blu-Ray back in Mplayer in fullscreen just fine, no stuttering or anything, selectable subtitles, etc. The only problem is it'll only play the first title on the Blu-Ray. This is a major problem.
Hi,
I have "huge fonts" issue described in this topic http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309363 as well as here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1208199 and many other places.
If I have, say, 20 music videos (.flv and .mp4), is there a way to play them in mplayer (mplayer2) without having to change the volume for each video, instead specifying a desired general volume, and having mplayer adjusting automatically whenever necessary?
