Here we go this is strange but true, * Eats words and watches dvd's* I went down and ran "apt-get update then installed mplayer. Came home and tossed a dvd in the drive and "VIOLA" the thing started playing in totem as dvd root. So, is there a lib type file in mplayer that totem needs? Bottom line is if the dvd drawer is closed with a disc in, it begins the autoplay in totem-xine. Resolved but I am unsure of how. Regards John ----- Original Message Follows -----

mplayer is one of the few that I have not tried, I will go to a network and download it but I am not confident about it working. John

I'm fairly sure we did try that already.. same problem.
