 |
|
I cannot find a guide for DVD configuration for mplayer/xine. I don't really know how to create a symbolic link /dev/dvd that would point to my dvd player... can someone help me?
p.s. I know that you do it with an command but I'm not sure what exactly to point it to....

| Code: | ls -l /dev/cdrom*
/dev/cdroms:
total 0
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 33 Dec 31 1969 cdrom0 -> ../ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 33 Dec 31 1969 cdrom1 -> ../ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/cd |
in this case, my dvd player is cdrom1, so if I wanted to create a symbolic link (ie. /dev/dvd)
i would just do this:
| Code: | | ln -s /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd /dev/dvd |
