[SOLVED] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0

SeRi@lDiE · 11-29-2010, 06:03 PM

I am unable to read any movie dvd's with slackware. Any data dvd is ok but no movie dvd's even with vlc.... The same dvd reads fine in the same machine with different OS like Debian, FC, Mint....

I keep getting:

Code:

Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 1025

Any ideas?

Thanks!

i'm thinking of a broken device
that's almost the same error message displayed when your hard drive is failing

How is that?
It works fine with other Distro. I can read Data DVD's just fine. If it was failing it shouldn't work with any other distro.

Any body?

That might be caused due to the encryption used in commercial movie DVDs. You need libdvdcss to decrypt them. You also need a version of xine that will work with encrypted DVDs. I'm sure a Google search will lead you to some step by step tutorial.

First see if you have libdvdcss.

Code:

$ locate libdvdcss
/usr/lib/libdvdcss.so.2
/usr/lib/libdvdcss.so.2.1.0
/usr/share/doc/libdvdcss2
/usr/share/doc/libdvdcss2/NEWS.gz
/usr/share/doc/libdvdcss2/README
/usr/share/doc/libdvdcss2/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/libdvdcss2/changelog.gz
/usr/share/doc/libdvdcss2/copyright
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libdvdcss2.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libdvdcss2.md5sums
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libdvdcss2.postinst
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libdvdcss2.postrm
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libdvdcss2.shlibs

If you already have this then maybe your movie watching software is missing the required component. I haven't installed this by hand in years but I remember something about replacing xine-ui or something.
