Sony DW10A DVD is not a DVD in SuSE 8.1
My DVD drive - Sony DW10A will act as a CD-RW drive but will not play DVD with mplayer.
Any ideas? |
do you have a symlink from the actual ide device entry (e.g /dev/hdc) to /dev/dvd. without having an obvious place to look for a dvd drive programs aren't going to start guessing, so if there's no /dev/dvd then try "ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/dvd" IF your drive IS on hdc (secondary master)
if that doesn't solve it then provide the full output from mplayer as you have provided no real useful information |
I think you have nailed it. Sorry for the lack of info though. /dev/dvd does not exist, I'll give that a try. Thanks for that.

acid_kewpie - I started up my box to try your suggestion, I noticed the messages at the login prompt:
linux kernel: ide-scsi: hdc unsupported command in request queue (0)0)0)) linux kernel :ide-scsi: hdc end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 64 The message repeats to sector 78 When I ltry to play a dvd mplayer reports: Sorry this file format not recognized/supported If this file is an AVI, ASF or MPEG stream, please contact the author! Next I tried you suggestion: ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/dvd And recieved the same message from mplayer. I removed /dev/dvd and tried ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/dvd The palyer resizes and displays noise for a couple of seconds then gives the same error message. If I then just press play I get the same video noise and: Error: Could not open direct show codec: qdv.dll I checked the SuSE site and checked that the kernel had the correct modules. reiserfs cdrom ide-cd ide-scsi Hmmmm. More google. Cheers. Thanks for reading.:) |
I get the same exact errors except I can access any files off a cd, but can't do any writing of any kind.

well it looks ok really, but you've not said how you are running mplayer

Replaced mplayer and still the same symptoms. Can't play Div-x or VCD either. Works fine as cd-rom and cd-audio. :) |
Try run
cdrecord -scanbus If your DVD / CDRW devices appears once like this for example: scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'YAMAHA ' 'CRW-F1E ' '1.0c' Removable CD-ROM 0,1,0 1) 'SONY ' 'DVD-ROM DDU1621 ' 'S1.6' Removable CD-ROM 0,2,0 2) * 0,3,0 3) * 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) * 0,7,0 7) * Than you should be fine. If not (e.g. does not appear, appears multiple times) then this link should help: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/aoezcan_cdrom.html Have a lot of fun :-) |
