xine -issue?
 

Hello, I always try to get this on my own first...but this one has me stumped. I am trying to help my friend install a dvd rom drive. here is his /etc/fstab

/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda2 / reiserfs defaults 1 1
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,users,rw 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/dvd auto noauto,users,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0


the thing is whenever we try to watch a dvd we get the mrl not found...no read write permissions. The nor mal xine error.
Now we can see vob files etc...when we look in /mnt/dvd.
I have compiled libdvdcss 2 or 3 times xine-check returns...

Please be patient, this script may take a while to run...

That walked me through enough that I could get it working. I had made the mistake of mounting the dvd drive. Once I got it setup in the way they outlined, I didn't need root permissions or anything to view dvds.

yeh been there....
ls -al /dev/dv*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2005-08-03 10:01 /dev/dvd -> /dev/hdc
any other ideas....I should also state it is a default slack 10 install.

Any help?

Well, I ran through that site, and that ended up getting dvd playback working for me. I did have to change an option or two through the xine settings GUI, just to point to my dvd drive. But nothing else comes to mind, so I'm not really sure what the problem could be. Sorry I can't be more help :(

well for dvd playback I have and have had /dev/hdd through xine gui. anyone else?gurus?

Anyone have that page downloaded where I could check it out. I can't get to it any more I am getting a forbidden error
