I get the message "No stream found to handle url dvd://1" in a dialog when trying to play a DVD in the graphic interface of mplayer (gmplayer).
I can play the DVD without problem using the command line interface mplayer. (But before it would work I had to do this: sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/mplayer)
You have (not) set the dvd-device (correctly). Start gmplayer, right click on the (empty) Video window, goto Preferences -> Misc and fill out 'DVD device' and 'CD-ROM device' as appropriate. Or simply edit ~/.mplayer/gui.conf while gmplayer is not running. $ grep device ~/.mplayer/gui.conf dvd_device = "/dev/dvd" cdrom_device = "/dev/cdrom" Systemwide configuration can be put into /etc/MPlayer/gui.conf (AFAI[RK]). The non-gui mplayer uses 'mplayer.conf' and some others. Also, you can give the device on the command-line, as needed: gmplayer -dvd-device /dev/dvd dvd://1 gmplayer -dvd-device /mnt/loop dvd://1 gmplayer -dvd-device /path/to/foo.iso dvd://1 BTW: I prefer mplayer over gmplayer, just about everything can be done via keys. And you don't get blinked with dialogs for every error. And also: e.g. I just tried playing an a couple of .iso, gmplayer barfs with CRC-Errors, mplayer just plays, without any errors in the xterm it was started from ...
