 |
|
Hi all,
per default my system has a /dev/dvd1 and /dev/cdrom1 device. I guess this is an udev issue. When i try to open a dvd with kmplayer, kmplayer expects a /dev/dvd device even i have /dev/dvd1 specified in the configuration. Creating a symlink /dev/dvd pointing to /dev/dvd1 fixes this issue until the next reboot but afterthat the device is not created by udev. How can i tell kmplayer to use /dev/dvd1 instead of /dev/dvd ? Or vice versa, how can i make the symlink /dev/dvd permanent?

KMplayer > Settings > Source > DVD > DVD Device
Maybe you have to upgrade your kmplayer?
I'm using media-video/kmplayer-0.10.0c

Kmplayer ignores this setting here - but in the meantime i thought about to enable the tarball setting in /etc/conf.d/rc and create a dvd symlink manually. this could be a solution. I will try it.
thanks

Erdie,
Could you please file a bug for that when you get the time? 
There isn't a related bug at Gentoo or KDE

You could try to write the udev rule yourself. You will need to tell udev to make a symlink in this case.

Try setting dvd-device=/dev/dvd1 in your ~/.mplayer/config

I updated the kernel and probably removed IDE cdrom support. So at present my cdrom is at /dev/sr0 and udev creates cdrom1,dvd1, etc symlinks. So, here is the udev rule which creates cdrom,dvd,.. etc symlinks. It is extracted from /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules. Create the following file named /etc/udev/rules.d/90-self.rules. You should keep the 90-, but you can replace 'self' with any string you like.
| Code: | ENV{ID_CDROM}=="1", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:1f.1-scsi-0:0:0:0", SYMLINK+="cdrom", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
ENV{ID_CDROM}=="1", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:1f.1-scsi-0:0:0:0", SYMLINK+="cdrw", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
ENV{ID_CDROM}=="1", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:1f.1-scsi-0:0:0:0", SYMLINK+="dvd", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
ENV{ID_CDROM}=="1", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:1f.1-scsi-0:0:0:0", SYMLINK+="dvdrw", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
|
The pci-0000:00:1f.1-scsi-0:0:0:0 string can be obtained by looking at and finding out which node corresponds to your cdrom1. In my case this string exactly matches the string used in the corresponding 70-persistent-cd.rules.
Next run the following two lines: | Code: | udevcontrol reload_rules
udevtrigger |
and your device nodes should be created.
