I can't play a DVD by entering "
xine dvd://" at the shell. I end up getting an error about how the DVD can't be unencrypted.
It works when "
xine dvd://dev/hda" is entered ("
/dev/hda" is the block device for my DVD drive).
The following SlackBuilds were compiled and installed in this order:
libdvdcss-1.2.10-i486-1_SBo.tgz
libdvdread-4.1.3-i486-1_SBo.tgz
libdvdnav-4.1.3-i486-1_SBo.tgz
Here are the relevant links in "
/dev". To the best of my knowledge, they are all correct.

I've narrowed the problem down to either libdvdnav or libdvdread trying to access the wrong device when I ask xine to play a dvd
the normal way.
Here's some selected output from xine when DVD playback
does not work:
Code:
bash-3.1$ xine --verbose=100 dvd://
...
xine: found input plugin : DVD Navigator
libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 1.1.15 from http://xine.sf.net

I've highlighted what I believe to be the important differences. Everything else is just fallout, I think.
Like I said, the problem seems to be that if I don't guide xine to the correct device, my system points it to the root device. That's wrong.
Any ideas? I'm sure it's just a simple configuration problem.
