VLC doesn't play DVDs as user, fine as root
Okay, now that I've added a user, I find that VLC will not recognize any DVDs that I put in. Plays fine as root.
I have the VLC version that includes restricted codecs. Groups for "user" were added to include audio and video. Where do I look or what is needed for me to change in order for "user" to watch DVDs? |
What other groups is your user part of?
When creating a user, if you use the "up" arrow key when queried about other groups, you will be presented: Code:
users lp floppy audio video cdrom plugdev power netdev scanner cheers, |
When I created new user, I did use the up arrow key and assigned those groups to the user.
This solved the audio problem I was having and read about in one of the forum posts, but doesn't solve the video. Thanks for the input!! |
Ok.
If you start vlc from a vt, are there any useful msgs? cheers, |
This is what I get when running terminal mode;
bash-4.2$ vlc VLC media player 2.0.4 Twoflower (revision 2.0.3-289-g6e6100a) [0x9c0a9e8] main demux error: corrupt module: /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/access/libdvdnav_plugin.so [0x9b73ae8] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface. Then when I go to play the DVD this comes up; [0xb1600960] main demux error: corrupt module: /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/access/libdvdnav_plugin.so [0xb1600960] main demux error: corrupt module: /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/access/libdvdread_plugin.so [0xb6e00618] main input error: open of `dvd:///dev/sr0' failed |
You didn't mix x86 and x86_64 packages, did you?

Use the "groups" command to see what groups a user belongs to: #groups user user : users audio video Then run the "usermod" command with the -G option to change the groups to which a user belongs: #usermod -G users,audio,video,cdrom,plugdev user |
These are the groups that my user account has assigned:
Code:
users lp floppy audio video cdrom plugdev power netdev scanner |
