Playing movie dvd issue [solved]

Hello,

I cannot get a movie dvd to play with mplayer.

libdvdread libdvdcss libdvdnav are installed.

I tried the following things which all fail.

[/home/robert]$ gnome-mplayer dvd://1
Segmentation fault

[/home/robert]$ gnome-mplayer /dev/dvd
in media state change with state = 0

Failed to open /dev/dvd.

[/home/robert]$ gnome-mplayer /dev/sr0
proc is at /proc
sys is at /sys
udev is at /dev
run is at /run
/dev/disk/by-uuid/e3e392d3-a369-4635-bf63-6cf4114100f3 is at /
devpts is at /dev/pts
shm is at /dev/shm
tmpfs is at /tmp
/dev/sda1 is at /media/personal
fusectl is at /sys/fs/fuse/connections
gvfs-fuse-daemon is at /home/robert/.gvfs
/dev/sr0 is at /media/MONEY_AS_DEBT___REVISED_EDITIO
/dev/sr0 is mounted on /media/MONEY_AS_DEBT___REVISED_EDITIO
Segmentation fault

[/home/robert]$ gnome-mplayer /media/MONEY_AS_DEBT___REVISED_EDITIO^_/
Segmentation fault

Any advice?

Regards

Have you tried

mplayer -dvd-device /dev/sr0 dvd://3

Sometimes DVDs can be picky about title 1 so I usually choose 2 or 3 for testing

Hello SS4,

I should have come earlier about the idea to just try mplayer which works flawlessly.

However, why does gnome-mplayer not work? I already deleted the .config/gnome-mplayer directory but no change.

Maybe I should try the svn version.

Any further ideas are appreciated.

I figured out that you can set the default drive in the settings of gnome-mplayer which is necessary since there is no longer a symlink of /dev/dvd to /dev/sr0.

Also there will be a -dvd-device command for gnome-mplayer in future releases.

See: http://code.google.com/p/gnome-mplayer/ … ail?id=569
