I found 2 things....first, you have to specify where your dvd is mounted inside the xine GUI. Mine is /dev/cdrom1, xine had it preset as /dev/dvd. I changed that and then xine was able to see it. After you cure that problem you might run into the second which is, it won't play encrypted dvds. I was able to see a homemade one I got from a friend at the job, but I couldn't see the store-bought one. I believe this is because of some kind of patent issues, and you have to install separate plugins to get it to work. I researched some but didn't install them, and of course now I can't find the darn bookmark :|. Do a Google for xine dvd, I know I found it that way. Also, someone else might have the info on hand here.
