william Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 I've just installed mplayer and all its dependencies. Whenever a I try do run a DVD I get this message: cd-rom device /dev/cdrom not found With gxine I never ran into this sort of trouble. Running MDK 9.1 on a notebook with cd/dvd/rw combo. Thanks.

gabbman Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 Not sure, but maybe change the settings to /mnt/cdrom. BTW, nice avitar :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william Posted August 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 Yeah, this avatar is cool.(they are syncronized!!) Could you give a little more detailed instructions. I mean, My cdrom is already mounted. I've been listening cd's normally since linux installation. Under preferences tab in Mplayer I changed the DVD "mounting point" to mnt/cdrom, but still not working. Any other input? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 what is it in fstab? mine in my fstab is none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdc so I tell mplayer /dev/hdc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kamikaze_Gerbil Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 If you're using the gui its under preferences misc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 First, I don't think you should list it by mount point in preferences>misc, but by device file. Second, since you have a combo drive, my best guess would be that it's running under scsi emulation. Check your /etc/fstab and see if you have a line referencing /dev/scd0; that will be your combo drive if I'm right. Finally, I'm not sure that dvds will play well, if at all, with the drive running under scsi emulation but you can give it a try. Just change the device file for dvd to /dev/scd0 in preferences and see if it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvc Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 not on linux rt now, but doesn't mplayer have a 'test sorta thing' like xine? Are you running it from a terminal to get max output to the prob? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william Posted August 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 bvc: the mplayer was installed with rpms tools in mcc.

bvc Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 Now you've found why I use xine from the cd's :wink: ...though they say for encrypted you'll need a libdvdcss from plf. They only way I got mplayer to work was with rh rpms from freshrpms, though plf's works also....so they say. Sorry I could be more help. That's what others will suggest.....is plf, we are (or were) mirrored in our download section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

william Posted August 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 xine with one of its frontends should be a better choice to playing any video file outhere here instead mplayer (very cool skins).
