Xmms
Ok, I started Xmms but all i could do was just look at it. how do I load from the cd? /dev/cda? or is it something else? I am under ManDrake 9.0
Any help would be appreciated. :study: |
do you have teh cd audio player plugin on xmms?
|
um...How would I check?
|
right click>preferences - a list of categorized plugins.
right click>options>preferences, I mean. :) |
Hmmm...I have CD audio 1.2.7 should I get teh plug in? The output plugin is a OSS driver something 1.2.7 ---is this not working?
|
well just try something else like esound or whatever and see if that works.
|
Now that I look into it I can't play CDs either. *lol* I think the plug-in issue is fine. It's something else. Let me see if I can get mine working and I'll get back to you.
Like DrOzz says, I'm going try some other things first. |
All you need to do is either right click on the main XMMS window and select "Play Location" or on the keyboard do a [Control-L]. when the "Enter location to play" dialog comes up, put in "/mnt/cdrom" or where ever your cdrom has been mounted and then click "OK" or press enter.
There is sometimes a delay if you are using the CDDB lookup function (gets the CD details from the net) and/or using "Supermount" (automatic mounting of removable media like CDROMs). If you're not sure where you CDROM has been mounted you can either type the command "mount" in the shell/terminal or check the file "/etc/fstab" using the command "cat /etc/fstab" also from the shell/terminal. You may need "root" privileges to do this. Look for "/mnt/cdrom" or "/cdrom" or "/dec/cdrom" or similar. Hope this helps. NOTE: I'm using Mandrake 9.1 (Redhat based) but this also worked with Mandrake 9.0/8.2/8/7.2, Debian 2.2/3.0 and Knoppix show it should work. |
