mplayer dvd issues
 

slackware, 10.2 kernel 2.6.13

I have read a lot of posts, have all the dependencies installed, set permissions to:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2006-06-19 10:56 /dev/dvd -> /dev/hdc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2006-06-19 10:56 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc

When trying to play a dvd I still get:

Linux RTC init error in ioctl (rtc_irqp_set 1024): Permission denied
Try adding "echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq" to your system startup scripts.
Playing dvd://.
libdvdread: Could not open device with libdvdcss.
libdvdread: Can't open /dev/dvd for reading
Couldn't open DVD device: /dev/dvd

when trying to use lsdvd I get:
lsdvd
Can't open disc /dev/dvd!

I don't know what's wrong here anymore, thanks in advance for any advise!

Well, if im not mistaken mplayer shouldnt be using libdvdcss anyway, it should be using libmpdvdkit. Of course I could be totally wrong, but you should check the output when you configure mplayer before making and see if its making mpdvdkit.

Can you run mplayer as root?

I just used the packages from linuxpackages.net, I did not do any compiling..

same thing happens in root..

If it were me, I'd compile it myself to see if it's just something with the way the binary was built...

Cool
