xine and new dvd burner...

[kristi]

I had a cd burner (IDE1/master) and a dvd player (IDE1/slave)

Pulled the cd burner and put in a DVD burner (IDE1/master)

Mplayer and kaffiene can play a dvd from the dvd burner (I have to change "dvd" to "dvd0" in Mplayer)

 

xine gives me 2 nasty messages

-xine engine error -

There is no input plugin available to handle 'dvd:/'.

Maybe MRL syntax is wrong or file/stream source doesn't exist.

-----------

The source can't be read.

Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain

data (e.g. not disk in drive). (/dev/dvd)

but basically it is trying to read it from dvd instead of dvd0.

 

if I put a dvd in the old (slave) drive, xine will play it. I tried removing the old dvd drive leaving only the new dvd burner, but xine still can't figure it out. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled xine and libdvdcss a few times.

 

Anyone know how to change this in xine?

tia!!!

edit ~/.xine/config

 

That's where xine's DVD device path is defined. Just search the file for /dev/dvd and change it to whatever is appropriate for the new drive.

xine *does* have a GUI config editor, but it's such a horrible mess of an interface I never touch it, editing the file directly is easier :). I actually just use totem rather than xine these days, it uses libxine but it's a much, much nicer front end (for GNOME users). kaffeine is something similar for KDE. Both of these have sensible, standard configuration options which you should actually be able to work out without an advanced degree in guesswork. :)
