Watch copy-protected DVD on Fedora 13

Even though you installed the last version of VideoLAN VLC, it may happen that you are not able to read DVDs that have a copy protection.

The trick to get this to work is to install the libdvdcss library (which is not in the official repositories).
You can find this library on the ATrpms.

To install the library:

wget http://dl.atrpms.net/all/libdvdcss2-1.2.10-5.fc13.x86_64.rpm http://dl.atrpms.net/all/libdvdcss-1.2.10-5.fc13.x86_64.rpm
yum install libdvdcss-1.2.10-5.fc13.x86_64.rpm \
            libdvdcss2-1.2.10-5.fc13.x86_64.rpm

Enjoy!

Zattoo 4 sous Fedora ou autre Red Hat Linux

Zattoo has finally released the linux version of its player.

Unfortunately, only a ".deb" file for Ubuntu is currently available.
But don't worry, it works well on Fedora too!

First, grab the debian package from the Zattoo website: http://zattoo.com/en/download/linux?download=1&version=Linux-i386-deb

Then, extract the files we are interested in with the following command:

ar p zattoo-4.0.4-i386.deb data.tar.gz | tar zx

It will create a "usr" folder, just copy its content to your /usr folder:

cp usr/* /usr/

Then you can start Zattoo Player 4 on Fedora just typing Zattoo from your terminal!

Enjoy.
