ogle


Hello,

I am trying to use the ogle dvd player for the first time. When I try to open the dvd I get this error,

No accelerated IMDCT transform found
FATAL[ogle_audio]: failed opening the oss audio driver at /dev/dsp
ctrl: ipc_rmid: Invalid argument

Then the loading terminates. What does this mean and how can i fix it?

Thanks,

That means what it says:
ogle (the user ogle is run from) doesn't
have access to /dev/dsp ...

That's either you don't have permission
to read/write to dsp or it doesn't exist.

If other programs (say like xmms) can
play sound you might have to create a
symlink between your actual sound-device
and /dev/dsp for ogle.

Cheers,
Tink

What user are you trying that as?

If you need to make a symlink or
change permissions in the
/dev tree you have to become root.

su - root
cd /dev

Check whether it exists and what
permissions it has

ls -l dsp*

if it does exist and says something like
crw------- 1 root sys 14, 3 Jul 19 1994 /dev/dsp
do

chmod +rw dsp

Does the box make any sound (besides the HDD
and fans ;} ... like in Wav) at all?

Cheers,
Tink
