Cannot setup Livna repository or install libdvdcss

[pretz]

Hi,

I did a fresh install of Fedora 13, 32-bit, with GNOME desktop. My goal is to watch DVDs with VLC media player.
I followed the steps in this website to install the media players, codecs, VLC etc. -

http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f13.html

Everything was successful until I got stuck at this point (the DVD Playback section) -

#Setup the Livna Repository:
[mirandam@charon ~]$ sudo rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release.rpm
[mirandam@charon ~]$ sudo rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-livna
# Installation through yum with Livna enabled:
[mirandam@charon ~]$ sudo yum install libdvdcss

I see this in my laptop -

[root@localhost ~]# 
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release.rpm
Retrieving http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release.rpm
curl: (7) couldn't connect to host
error: skipping http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release.rpm - transfer failed
[root@localhost ~]#

I checked the rpm.livna.org website via Firefox and I see that it's down. How should I proceed ?

Thanks,
pretz

With the livna repo down at the moment, I would do,

wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/atrpms.net/f13-i386/atrpms/stable/libdvdcss-1.2.10-5.fc13.i686.rpm
su
rpm -ivh libdvdcss*

That doesn't quite work.
The key import and installation of libdvdcss fails, even though the first command (rpm -ivh) works for this ftp site.

The wget command is successful, and I can see the libdvdcss*.rpm in my directory.
But the next command (rpm -ivh) fails.

Ok, I have been following the discussion on this thread -

http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=251005

DangerMouse's suggestion worked for me. So libdvdcss is installed and I can view DVDs now.

One question though. I see an error when I list the yum repositories.

How do I remove livna from the repository list ?

Thanks a lot, guys.

rpm -e livna-release

[errorxp]

You could have also modified the livna.repo, commented out the mirrorlist and added ftp.pbone.net as baseurl on top. I'm sure this will work, at least my livna repo for Fedora 7 is working this way.

[gamlebaron]

This is the way I solved it om my Fedora 13, 32-bit, GNOME and it works for me playing films on DVD and VLC mediaplayer. This was done from a clean and updated installation.

yum install libdvdread libdvdnav gstreamer-plugins-ugly # Finding my DVD-device
rpm -ivh http://dl.atrpms.net/all/libdvdcss2-....fc13.i686.rpm # Connect to the repository containing libdvdcss2

cd /tmp/
wget http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/rele...071007.tar.bz2 # Download the codecs
tar xfvj all-20071007.tar.bz2 # Unpack
mkdir /usr/lib/codecs/ # Make the directory if it does not exist
cp all-20071007/* /usr/lib/codecs/ # Copy your new files to your new directory
ln -s /usr/lib/codecs/ /usr/lib/win32 # Make a link between to directories

yum install vlc # Install VLC mediaplayer

I hope this will help you!

[errorxp]

Looks like ftp.pbone.net is missing something in repodata folder but http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub.../rpm.livna.org will work when you comment out the mirrorlist line and uncomment the baseurl line.

su -
gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/livna.repo

Make it look like this:

[livna]
name=rpm.livna.org for $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=http://rpm.livna.org/repo/$releasever/$basearch/ http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/rpm.livna.org/repo/$releasever/$basearch/
