 Posted: Thu Jul 30, 2009 1:25 am Post subject: [solved] Howto play audio cd's: Rhythmbox |
 |
|
I just emerged rhythmbox but it seems that I cannot play audio cds from it. When scanning removable devices cd does not show up. When manually importing /mnt/cdrom i get
| Code: | mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: /dev/sr0: can't read superblock |
If I remember correctly you are not supposed to mount audio cd's.
My fstab consist of:
| Code: | /dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sda3 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbflash auto noauto,user 0 0 |
I do not have a cd audio cable.
Are there any special procedures prior to playing audio cds?

I'm not too familiar with rhythmbox, but yes - you shouldn't be mounting audio cds. Is there some kind of control to "Play Audio CD"?
For example, to play a cd in mplayer you'd use
mplayer cdda://
rather than mounting the cd, which is impossible.

I believe that all I need to do is scan removable devices then click audio cd in the panel and then play.
Im going to try Mplayer to see if that works. |

Sadly there's a few excellent players which lack audio cd support, I'm quite sick of having to resort to command line to play my music. However, turns out from a little research that rhythmbox does support them after all which means something's going strangely on your end.
Does mounting a regular data cd work? |

Thats crazy. mplayer works fine. I just want a graphical version. |

The only explanation that I can think of is that ryhthmbox wasn't compiled with the correct options. Are there any USE flags that I should add? Also, does cdda stand for compact disc digital audio?
When trying to do I get | Code: | | Failed to load cdda://: No registered source can handle URI cdda:// |
I'm going to go to the rhythmbox irc channel and try to sort this out. I will post everything that I tried here to try and help others. 
Edit: Ok... The irc was no help but I found out what was wrong.
THE FIX
Ryhthmbox needs hal to check for cd's you cannot point it to cd's.
Prior to emerging hal one must add evdev to the INPUT_DEVICES section of their make.conf or else your keyboard and mouse will not function. 
Follow the directions here after editing your make.conf http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/HAL
After that you will need to remove the input devices section from your xorg.conf.
All should be fine after that.  |
