I have dvd-rw on my laptop. The problem is that I can't get it to play dvd's I installed suse 8.2 pro from dvd, I also have mplayer compiled from sources from their site. Works smoothly on all other material. When I try to play dvd movie with it: mplayer dvd://1 I get following: MPlayer 1.0pre1-3.3 (C) 2000-2003 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel Pentium 4 Northwood (Family: 8, Stepping: 9) Detected cache-line size is 64 bytes CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 SSE SSE2 Reading config file /usr/local/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf: No such file or directory Reading config file /home/ps/.mplayer/config Reading /home/ps/.mplayer/codecs.conf: Can't open '/home/ps/.mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory Reading /usr/local/etc/mplayer/codecs.conf: Can't open '/usr/local/etc/mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory Using built-in default codecs.conf font: can't open file: /home/ps/.mplayer/font/font.desc font: can't open file: /usr/local/share/mplayer/font/font.desc Failed to open /dev/rtc: Permission denied (mplayer should be setuid root or /dev/rtc should be readable by the user.)

I am guessing, since it is a writer, it is scsi emulated, and you have a link /dev/cdrecorder --> /dev/sr0. If you do, then make a link for cdrom and dvd, i.e. "ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/dvd" and "ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom". If you writer is not /dev/sr0, then make sure you have a link dvd pointing to the right device.

Sounds reasonable.. how do I determine whether that device is /dev/sr0 or something else. P_S

Several methods. For example, very complete: hwinfo --scsi Another one. Browse /var/log/boot.msg, search for scsi. There will be a section like: <6>scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices <4> Vendor: IDE Model: DVD-ROM 16X Rev: 1.06 <4> Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 <4> Vendor: MITSUMI Model: CR-48X8TE Rev: 1.1E <4> Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 So dvd is the first scsi device (sr0). -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
