 Posted: Sat Feb 28, 2009 1:44 pm Post subject: Problem playing DVD's |
 |
|
Sorry for the generic subject title, but I just can't seem to find anything specific yet to describe it further. Basically, last night I was trying to watch a tv series I have on DVD with my girlfriend but when I put the DVD into the drive and started XINE, I would get the FBI warning, an intro movie and then XINE would just stop. Not crash, just stop - as if the DVD had finished. Console output described:

Those last 2 lines being the ones that displayed immediately before XINE 'stops'. So, then I tried mplayer (with mplayer dvd://) MPlayer will do the same thing and when it stops I get the 'Exiting... (End of file)' message without any error. (I'd rather not use MPlayer right now anyway, actually, because I'm having what I think is an unrelated issue with it.
I ended up switching to Windows and being able to play the DVD through there (so I know the player and the DVD are fine) and this morning when I woke up I tried another DVD and that actually played fine in XINE (the problem DVD is still giving me grief, however), so I don't know whats going on. I did a search online and through this forum and the only helpful thing I found was some mentions of libdvdread so I upgraded to the most recent version in portage (media-libs/libdvdread-4.1.3-r1) but with still no change - I did end up downgrading this package as I saw some other packages (VLC) were blocked with this version installed)
The last thing I came across to note is my dmesg, which output the following:
| Code: | UDF-fs: Partition marked readonly; forcing readonly mount

This was repeated a few times, presumably for the few various times I tried playing the damn disc. Lastly, here's my emerge --info. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

alienjon,
| Code: | | UDF-fs: Partition marked readonly; forcing readonly mount |
Thats odd. While DVDs do have a UDF filesystem on them, its not used to play the video.
All video players use raw device access and read read the block list files (using raw block access) to play blocks making up the video in the right order.
The UDF filesystem on a DVD is usually full of corrupt blocks to make copying it both harder and detectable.
Be sure the user you are playing the dvd as is in the cdrom group, so they have raw device access to the DVD drive.
If the kernel automounts the DVD, umount it. This step should not be required but we want to test that raw device access is really being used.

Try upgrading to libdvdcss-1.2.10.
I dunno if that'd help, but it can't hurt.

Thanks everyone for the replies!
NeddySeagoon: Other dvd's have played fine on my computer (it just seems that this one is causing a problem - and as I noted it seems to only be in linux, as I ended up having to play it in windows) but I did double check and my user is in the cdrom group. Unmounting/manually mounting doesn't seem to make any difference when I tried it.
beandog: Didn't hurt, but I didn't see any change either 
When I booted into windows I played the file via VLC, so I figured that, at this point, I should try it in linux as well. Interestingly enough it will play in VLC where it won't in the other two but what makes this VERY interesting is that VLC DOESN'T play the FBI warning and the intro that the others only play (which I believe it also did in Windows) I'm not sure if that's a clue or not, but wanted to mention.
Also, in looking at the VLC console output I noticed this little tidbit (which was also output with XINE from my first post):
| Code: | | No accelerated IMDCT transform found |
What exactly is IMDCT? Is it something I should be concerned about, primarily if it might be needed to play some dvd's? |

This message comes from liba52. It only means that audio decoding will not be as fast as it could be, but it's no big deal, ac3 decoding doesn't use much resources anyway. |

I won't follow this line of questioning as it deviates from the purpose of this thread, but another problem I just recently started having with MPlayer is that any video I play will play fantastically slowly, and I get the mplayer 'this video is playing too slowly for your computer message'. Could this message be related then, even if ac3 doesn't use THAT many resources? |
