Mageia forum

I have loaded gstreamer updates but am still not able to play commercial dvd help tom

Have you installed libdvdcss?
If it still doesn't work afterwards, amybe there's some new-fashion copy-protection in place, which is not supported ...
How new and what DVD is it?

the dvd's are the new batman movie and the avengers.I got them to work limitedly on vlc but had to point the player to the exact file instead of the dvd (odd) will work through some settings tomorrow.but I still have the default /dev/dvd/sr0 that shows up as dvd but acidrip cannot find it . Will keep trying tom

Please show the output of

Code: Select all

ls -la /dev/dvd

and

Code: Select all

ls -la /dev/sr*

/dev/dvd/sr0 as you mentioned it is definitely wrong, Maybe acidrip was patched incorrectly ...


This is what it should look like:

Code: Select all

[doktor5000@Mageia2 ~]$ ls -la /dev/dvd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jan 28 00:10 /dev/dvd -> sr0
[doktor5000@Mageia2 ~]$ ls -la /dev/sr*
brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Jan 28 00:10 /dev/sr0

Also please show your /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules

Is there mention of the drive in fstab? If so, it's worth a try commenting it out and rebooting for a test.

is this mageia 2 or mageia 3 beta 2? there is a bug in 3 atm that is removing the symlinks so only /dev/cdrom remains.
