I'm using Xine on FC5 with Xine UI. To play VCDs, all I need to do is pop in the VCD in my cdrom drive and then click the "VCD" button on the interface. Remember to configure the VCD path as the device /dev/cdrom or /dev/hdX. Can you try running xine in debug mode? It will give you more info on whats going wrong...
In my xine in suse 10.1, there is no VCD button, only dvb and dvd. I feel its a scaled down version. When I was compiling the xine-lib from the tar file, it did have entries for vcds. But the problem is that I cannot remove the installed rpm as it gives dependency errors of other players. Totem too does not work.
In my FC5 there is no xine as the rpm -q does not show any xine entry. The command 'xine' too does not work indicating there's no xine installed. However there is totem as well as noatun. They are supposed to be xine guis. Totem can list my vcd in its file menu but it cannot run it as it gives an error of 'cannot find path'. (in both oses)
I have observed that the new linux OSes don't have entries for cd drives in fstab. Are the new kernels using some virtual method of mounting cds? They don't show up in the mount command either.
Could you give an exact list of steps you took to load FC5 and get xine working? If anyone else can give the same steps for Suse 10.1 then that would be great.

Rony.
