So far I have tried Ogle (wrong video playback speed) and kaffeine. Kaffeine works well, but no sound. I use alsa with jack, both work fine with other applications. Are there any dvd players that can work with jack directly?

Spanik,

Code:
$ mplayer -ao help
MPlayer 1.0pre7-3.4.3-20050110 (C) 2000-2005 MPlayer Team
CPU: Advanced Micro Devices Athlon MP/XP/XP-M Barton (Family: 6, Stepping: 0)
Detected cache-line size is 64 bytes
CPUflags:  MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0
Compiled with runtime CPU detection - WARNING - this is not optimal!
To get best performance, recompile MPlayer with --disable-runtime-cpudetection.

Available audio output drivers:
        mpegpes Mpeg-PES audio output
        oss     OSS/ioctl audio output
        alsa    ALSA-0.9.x-1.x audio output
        esd     EsounD audio output
        jack    JACK audio output
        nas     NAS audio output
        sdl     SDLlib audio output
        null    Null audio output
        pcm     RAW PCM/WAVE file writer audio output
So mplayer does, that probably means gmplayer does too

Thanks. I'll give kmplayer a try since I use KDE.

EDIT: emerged it, but it doesn't do a single thing. Neither kmplayer nor mplayer. They both start, but do not recognise a dvd in the driver (kaffeine and ogle do). I put the sound driver to jack, but they do not show up in the qjackctl connection window. The alsa and jack flags are listed in my USE flags.

EDIT2: I got kmplayer as far as starting the dvd, but no audio. Mplayer is another problem. When it starts, it tries to open 3 windows, 2 of them open, the third never comes but no error message. When I click "play" it starts to access the dvd, but then: "Mplayer interupted by signal 11 in module: init_audio_codec" and it fails completely. I tried every setting of the audio panel in the config but no change.

Code:
mplayer -ao jack dvd//:1
MPlayer 1.0pre6-3.4.3 (C) 2000-2004 MPlayer Team

The device is /dev/cdroms/cdrom0, maybe that can also be a problem. So I mounted the dvd, and then used the path to the /mnt/cdrom directory. The files on the dvd were audio_ts and video_ts . Tried then the following:

Code:
mplayer -ao jack /mnt/cdrom/video_ts

If I try the audio_ts file I get the same output.
Xmms however play through jack, that's the way I use it always. Other problem is that this audio card (RME hammerfall) has 26IOs and no mixer. Can that be a problem that the app searches for a mixer?

Sorry, made a syntax error in the code block. It should read:

Code:
$ mplayer -ao jack dvd://1



Read the output of

Code:
$ mplayer --help


to get a feel for how to use the options.

I tried to play a .wmv first from the HD with

Code:
mplayer -ao jack sw_8M.wmv


and this works fine. It opens 2 channels to jack and I get output. So it looks as if the dvd is the problem. Or at least how to start it. Time for more experiments.

Spanik,
Code:
mplayer -ao jack dvd//:1

The colon is in the wrong place
Code:
dvd://1
would be better

That command didn't help either. But I managed to get it working (more or less). It seems that I need to mount the dvd, and then start the files manually.
Code:
mplayer -oa jack /mnt/cdrom/video_ts/video_ts2.vob

This does the trick and then it works fine, video and sound. So it looks as if the filestructure of the dvd is to blame for some of the problems.

Xine however works fine with alsa.
