/dev/sr0 input can't be opened

/dev/sr0 input can't be opened

Postby Sayth » Aug 19th, '17, 01:30

HI

When I try and load a DVD with VLC the disc doesn't load at all. I am using Mageia 6 and have updated the system.
I ran the config tool in the control centre for /dev/sr0 but that hasn't helped currently either.

When I try to load the DVD this is the specific error I am getting.

Code: Select all
Playback failure:
DVDRead could not open the disc "/dev/sr0".
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///dev/sr0'. Check the log for details.

cat /etc/fstab
ls -al /dev/sr*
ls -al /dev/dvd

Try again please, seems you've not entered the full command, r* is missing at the end:
