Well, I've quickly installed xine (xine-ui) but haven't made any serious
attempt to configure it.  It certainly runs out of the box, but doesn't
appear to descramble yet.  I haven't tried to tell it where the codecs
and libdvdcss stuff are yet though.  It is a bit of a geeky interface,
but you do seem to be able to get in there to adjust and monitor
everything, so thanks for that and I'll have more of a look when I'm not
supposed to be working!
