Mplayer and DVDs
My girlfriend and I went out to Blockbuster earlier, had snuggled up with seats right next to my monitor with The Omen, I went to play it in Mplayer, but instead of seeing Damien, I saw this:
root@slackbox:/home/cowboy# mplayer dvd://1 MPlayer 1.0pre5-3.2.3 (C) 2000-2004 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel Pentium 4/Xeon/Celeron Northwood 2398 MHz (Family: 8, Stepping: 3) 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 Reading /root/.mplayer/codecs.conf: Can't open '/root/.mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory Reading /usr/local/etc/mplayer/codecs.conf: Can't open '/usr/local/etc/mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory Using built-in default codecs.conf. font: can't open file: /root/.mplayer/font/font.desc font: can't open file: /usr/local/share/mplayer/font/font.desc Using Linux hardware RTC timing (1024Hz).

Reading disc structure, please wait... There are 19 titles on this DVD. There are 21 chapters in this DVD title. There are 1 angles in this DVD title. libdvdread: Invalid title IFO (VTS_04_0.IFO). Cannot open the IFO file for DVD title 4. Exiting... (End of file) I recompiled and installed libdvdcss and libdvdread; no avail. Thanks in advance for any help. |
Your first problem is painfully apparent - you are running as root, you haven't installed any fonts or codecs. Try running it as your regular user. You do have a regular user, don't you?
|
Yes, I do. I just ran it as root instead of chmodding /dev/dvd to be run as the user.
|
Try opening the individual files under gmplayer - it could be that it's just not picking up the first file on the dvd.

I didn't install gmplayer; however, I did try playing each VOB with mplayer.
VIDEO_TS.VOB: Opened; video played, but was far too fast. VTS_01_0.VOB: "FATAL: Could not initialize video filters (-vf) or video output (-vo)."; also, I scrolled up in Eterm and saw this: "It seems there is no Xvideo support for your video card available." That struck me odd, as I have watched other videos (given, not in DVD format) in Linux. VTS_01_1.VOB: "Seek failed" For each VTS_0*_0.VOB, I get the same "FATAL" error; for each VTS_0*_[*>0].VOB, I get the same "Seek" error. |
