 |
|
I have a DVD RW drive and it works fine in Windows. I just emerged ogle to try and play DVDs but when i run ogle at the command line I get:
| Code: |
libdvdread: Can't stat /dev/dvd
No such file or directory
ERROR[ogle_nav]: faild to open/read the DVD
|
indeed i don't have a /dev/dvd, which i assume means i compiled my kernel without DVD support. am i on the right track? i look through 'make menuconfig' (kernel 2.6.10) but I couldn't find anything about DVD support. where is it buried?
thanks,
~ Justin |

The DVDs are not at that location. Most of the time they are seen as regular CDROMS and should be at the /dev/cdroms/cdrom(x). X is a number depending on how many you have in your system, I have two DVD Writers, once IDE and one USB. |

Alot of programs are looking for /dev/dvd, like DVDRIP, but you should change it to fit your system. It is much easier to change the app to look in the right place. |
