 Posted: Mon Aug 28, 2006 2:07 am Post subject: DVD Movies do not work |
 |
|
| Code: | vlc dvd:///dev/dvd
VLC media player 0.8.5 Janus
libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 0.1.10 from http://dvd.sf.net
libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.9 for DVD access
libdvdread: Could not open /dev/dvd with libdvdcss.
libdvdread: Can't open /dev/dvd for reading
libdvdnav: vm: faild to open/read the DVD
libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.9 for DVD access
libdvdread: Could not open /dev/dvd with libdvdcss.
libdvdread: Can't open /dev/dvd for reading
[00000234] dvdread demuxer error: DVDRead cannot open source: /dev/dvd
[00000237] access_file access error: file /dev/dvd is empty, aborting
[00000232] main input error: no suitable access module for `dvd:///dev/dvd |
DVDs that are TV shows, such as the Friends and Scrubs DVDs work perfectly, but DVD Movies give this error message and I don't know what to do about it. I've tried mounting /mnt/cdrom to /dev/dvd and /mnt/hdc to /dev/dvd and it says that there is no media present, when there is.
My DVD-ROM drive is
hdc: QSI CD-RW/DVD-ROM SBW-241, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
from dmesg
I dont' exactly know what I can check and I'm quite new to gentoo so please give me whatever advice you have. Thanks in advance |

Do the Movie DVDs that dont' work have the same region encoding of those that do work?

Yes, they do. They are both region one from the back of the DVD case. I don't see any difference between them at all.
Here is what happens when I try to mount them.
| Code: | localhost jp # mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
localhost jp # umount /mnt/cdrom
localhost jp # mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
mount: No medium found
|
the first one is with a Friends DVD and the second one is with the Saved! DVD. |

| No, but I figured the problem wasn't with my player because it won't even mount. |

| What ebuilds do I need to emerge in order to have enough to run Xine anyway? |

Is the Saved! DVD a burnt DVD or an original you purchased?

| it is an original that I purchased and that's not the only one that doesn't work. Romeo+Juliet, original, does not work as well. Those are the only two that I own, so they are the only two that I have tried. Scrubs and Friends, both originals, work fine. |

from memory you need xine-lib and xine-ui.
xine has been split up between the backend library that does all the work and the frontend user interface.
personally i prefer mplayer, but 6 one way, 1/2 dozen the other.
what happens when you just try and play the dvd instead of mounting it?
for example in mplayer i would say
| Code: |
mplayer -dvd /dev/dvdrom dvd://1

| Are you asking about what happens in VLC or in Mplayer or Xine? What happens in VLC is in the 1st post. |

bump
I really would like to figure this out as soon as possible
I have no idea what to do from here
I for some reason my DVD-ROM drive isn't reading that these disks are even there when it works fine for other DVD's
Everything works fine on windows, do you think it could be a driver problem? And if it is, how would I fix it because the driver was automagically loaded? |

What is shown if you "ls -l /dev/dvd"?

How about "ls -l /dev/hdc"?

So you can't mount the dvd as a user or as root?
Please post your /etc/fstab |

I can't mount it as root nor as a user.
and here is my fstab
| Code: | # NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/hda2 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/hda4 / reiserfs noatime 0 1
/dev/hda3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
|
and here is my ls -l /dev/hdc
| Code: | brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 0 Aug 31 17:12 /dev/hdc

I would suspect this is a kernel problem, as the DVDs don't even mount, while other DVDs do. Are you compiling and configuring your kernel yourself, or using genkernel?
I would also consider it possible your DVD drive is failing. It might just be that Linux uses the DVD more aggressively, or with different read-ahead settings or something, and if the hardware is failing it could give symptoms only in Linux but not on Windows. I do think that this is unlikely, however.

Just to comfort you a little bit, it's highly unlikely that the drive is going bad. It is possible but it's more likely that something is misconfigured.
Try changing this:
| Code: | | /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0 |
to this:
| Code: | | /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0 |
and let us know the results. |

Make sure that, in addition to iso9660, you have UDF support in your kernel. Then try modifying your fstab so that the cdrom line looks like this:
| Code: | | /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0 |
Also, make sure that your user is a member of the cdrom group. Run "id username" to see your current group memberships and "gpasswd -a username cdrom" to add yourself to the cdrom group. Finally, make sure that /dev/cdrom points to /dev/hdc too. (assuming that you only have one cd/dvd drive and that hdc is it)

Wow, you can do that? "udf,iso9660"? That's sweet. I usually just use "auto" and let mount decide which one it is.

Yep. The problem of letting mount decide, is that it may choose iso9660 before trying udf. This tells it to try them in the order specified. So I guess you could reverse them if, for some reason, udf gave you trouble.

Well whats interesting is some DVDs seem to be authored in iso9660... though I dont know if that's possible / correct. That's how they mount when I do auto, though. Not *all* do that, just some.
