LinuxQuestions.org - Cannot read DVD with Mplayer

Hi,

I want to play a DVD movie with mplayer, i downloaded the source amd everything worked fine,

Here the output of mplayer --v

MPlayer 1.0pre2-3.2.2 (C) 2000-2003 MPlayer Team

CPU: Intel Pentium 4/Xeon Willamette 1514 MHz (Family: 8, Stepping: 10)
Detected cache-line size is 64 bytes
CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1
Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 SSE SSE2

Reading config file /usr/local/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf: No such file or directory
Reading config file /root/.mplayer/config

When i try to play the DVD with this command: gmplayer dvd://1
I got the following error message:
Playing DVD title /dev/1
libdvdread: Can't stat /dev/dvd
No such file or directory
Couldn't open DVD device: /dev/dvd

According to my fstab file, my DVD is linked to /dev/cdrom.

When i do an ls | grep dvd in /dev, it cannot find the file.

Anybody has an idea??

I dont have xine installed, I have a Full install of RH9 with kernel 2.4.23.

Anybody has an answer?
Can it be kernel related, like a module is missing or something??

Please help!

Thanks in advance.

One last thing, the output of my /mnt/cdrom (which is my dvd player) is the following:

Autorun.inf ice_age_mac ice_age_pc.exe printables.exe

I presume that the movie is in the VIDEO_TS directory.

here is the output of ls in the VIDEO_TS directory:
