[SOLVED] DVD movies

[jakebpg]

Has anyone gotten dvd movies to play on the alpha yet?

Mine still doesn't work and yes I have all the drivers loaded and that includes libdvdccs

And yes the dvd drive works as I can play dvd movies in win 7

Found it.

Was missing xine-lib-extras-nonfree

Installed that and works like a charm now.
Thanks for the responses.

DVD movies play fine here, but they don't automatically start, or pop up a box asking what to open it with.

I do get this when I put the DVD in the drive, but I can then open it with vlc or any other movie player and it will play it.

Edit:
Looking closer, it appears that the /dev/dvd devices didn't get created when I put the disk in. That could possibly be your issue. What messages do you get when you put the dvd in the drive?

I have the /dev/cdrom symlinked back to /dev/sr0, but I do not have the /dev/dvd symlinked back to /dev/sr0. That appears to be a bug in the udev rules someplace.

[jakebpg]

I don't know, what command do I need to run to see this info? When I put a dvd in kde does pop-up a dialog asking what to do with the device and I choose open with kaffeine, then kaffeine opens and complains that it Cannot find input plugin for MRL "dvd:///dev/sr0".

And if I try to use dragon player it doesn't give any messages at all.

[DBelton]

I got the messages above by running dmesg after I put the DVD in the drive.


Kaffeine used to have an issue where it would not play a DVD from any device other that /dev/dvd, but I don't know if that was fixed or not.

That device used to be created with udev in the 70-persistent-cd.rules, but that udev rules file doesn't seem to exist on F17.

[jakebpg]

DB, I've been using Kaffeine for some time now without error except for in this alpha version. in the past all it took was to install libdvdccs and it worked but not this.

[DBelton]

well, in F16 the 70-persistent-cd.rules file created the /dev/dvd symlink. I can't find it being created in F17 anyplace. I find where the /dev/cdrom symlink is created (whch according to what I see ONLY /dev/sr0 will even have a /dev/cdrom symlink created. if you have a /dev/sr1, no symlink will be created)

I will have to investigate this one farther. It appears there may be a bug in how cdrom/dvd devices are set up.

This what is at the end of my dmesg:

And this is what I get when trying to run a dvd in kaffeine:

Hi, to read DVD movies in Fedora 15 I did:

su:

rpm -Uvh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release.rpm

yum install libdvdcss

or, yum update libdvdcss.
