453Chapter 18Running Bootable Linux DistributionsThe libdvdcss library, needed to decrypt DVD movies (even if only for playback), has been the subject of legal suits. Although this library is available on the Internet, no legitimate Linux systems in the U.S. distribute this library, and using it could beillegal. You should research this issue yourself if you plan to add libdvdcss to MoviXor any other Linux distribution that includes MPlayer or xine media players. .Music Audio files in AVI, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, and other formats can be played. .Images You can run a slide show using the Linux Frame Buffer Image(fbi)viewer that displays images in JPEG, PNG, and a variety of other imageformats. Because the MoviX player itself doesn t include any video, music, or images for youto play, it gives you choices on where you can load those items from. Here are thepossibilities, depending on what is available from your computer: .DVDs If you have a DVD drive on your computer, you can play supportedcontent from there. (As previously stated, that doesn t include most commer- cial movies, by default.) .VCDs and SVCD These are video formats that can be put on standard CDs. .Audio CDs Standard music CDs (including AVI, MP3, and other formats) canbe played. .Hard disk files Any supported content that is on the local hard disk canalso be played from MoviX. Like KNOPPIX, MoviX detects hard disk partitionsand then mounts them as you request files from those partitions. The mountsare done read-only, by default, so you can play your content without any riskof deleting or otherwise damaging it. .Network MoviX boots onto the network if a DHCP server is detected. Although the friendly user interface doesn t appear to support it yet, softwarein MoviX should enable you to get content from your LAN or Internet to play- back using an NFS (UNIX file sharing) or FTP (standard Internet file sharingfacility) file server. MoviX boots right up to MPlayer, so you can eject the MoviX disk, insert a CD, DVD, or VCD into your drive and play any supported content. Right-click the desktop tosee your choices for selecting content. If you are comfortable moving around in Linux, you can go to different virtual terminals while you are using MoviX. Press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to view a sound mixer orCtrl+Alt+F3 to go to a Linux shell. Then press Ctrl+Alt+F4 to get back to the mainscreen (with MPlayer). Select Switch to MoviX from the menu, and you can chooseto run your audio player, slide show, or TV viewer (the latter if you have a televi- sion card installed). Caution25_
