Do you have gstreamer and its plugins installed?

See the gstreamer wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GStreamer

I don't know whether Kaffeine uses the current version of gstreamer or the legacy version. You might want to install both.

V1del · 2014-05-24 19:56:50

Kaffeine uses xine, check the optional dependencies to install needed codecs

loqs · 2014-05-24 20:51:24

For vlc it is libcdio

blauman · 2014-05-25 16:12:37

yes i have gstreamer and all his plugins, xine-lib, libcdio, libdvdcss, vlc.. but nothing! i have read something about file fstab..but i have no idea how to configure it! it can be a fstab problem?

loqs · 2014-05-25 16:29:09

vlc cdda://

works for me without the disc mounted. You might need to append the dev the disk is in such as

vlc cdda:///dev/sr0

this is my output for it in both cases:

The last 3 lines of that output match what I see when no disk is in the drive
Also testing with xine which kaffeine seems to use as its backend produces your initial error when no disk is in the drive.
Perhaps /dev/sr0 is not the correct path I was using that as an example /dev/cdrom should be linked to the first cdrom device.
Perhaps the disk is unreadable

cd-info --no-cddb /dev/cdrom

Will show if libcdio can find any tracks on the device at /dev/cdrom
Perhaps I am misunderstanding and there is no disc you want to play an image file of a CD.

When posting configs, code or command output, please use [ code ] tags, not [ quote ] tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

like this

It makes the code more readable and - in case of longer listings - more convenient to scroll through.

Run

LC_ALL=C <command>

to get the output in English.

Are you running vlc from the tty of from a console in X?

loqs · 2014-06-16 19:37:21

If /dev/sr0 was the correct device path that should work for a standard dvd video disc.
Did I miss understand and it is instead a recordable dvd with media files on it?

The device path is the name (string) that identifies the dvd drive in my code above I assumed it "/dev/sr0" which added to media type string "dvdnav://" gives "dvdnav:///dev/sr0"
For your system the device path must be something else.
If it is the same device as you were using for the cdrom testing you could check

ls -la /dev/cdrom

which should show something similar to

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jun 16 20:18 /dev/cdrom -> sr0

Meaning on my system /dev/cdrom is a symbolic link to /dev/sr0

blauman · 2014-06-16 19:55:51

well, the output is exactly the same of yours (change only the time)..it seems to be sr0 to me too!

loqs · 2014-06-16 20:01:53

Can you try as root

$ mount /dev/sr0 /mnt
mount: /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
$ ls /mnt
VIDEO_TS
$ mount | grep /dev/sr0
/dev/sr0 on /mnt type udf (ro,relatime,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=77,iocharset=utf8)

edit: or using sudo etc

i don't know.. these are my output:

 
[francesco@Satellite-Pro-U400 ~]$ LC_ALL=C sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt
mount: /dev/sr0: can't read superblock
[francesco@Satellite-Pro-U400 ~]$ LC_ALL=C sudo ls /mnt
[francesco@Satellite-Pro-U400 ~]$ LC_ALL=C sudo mount | grep /dev/sr0
[francesco@Satellite-Pro-U400 ~]$

loqs · 2014-06-16 21:53:21

Brief explanation of what the commands were attempting to do

mount /dev/sr0 /mnt

mount the device "/dev/sr0" into the filesystem at "/mnt" this failed ( mount would use the superblock of the device to determine what filesystem to use )
/mnt is conventionally an empty directory used as a temporary mount point

ls /mnt

list the contents of "/mnt" which would have been the root directory of the dvd if mount had succeeded
as the mount failed and the directory is empty ls produces no output

mount | grep /dev/sr0

calling mount with no arguments causes it to list all mounts this is piped "|" to grep which only outputs lines containing "/dev/sr0" as the mount failed there was no mount for "/dev/sr0" so no output

So far all attempts to read from the drive have seemed to fail.
Is this drive known to work for example can it access a CD-ROM / DVD-ROM?

blauman · 2014-06-16 23:05:04

oh ok thanks for the explanation..
i have tryed only with audio CD and DVD on my Arch. i haven't a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM at the moment so i don't know it..but i can say you that before Arch i had a Debian based and all was ok, so i think this isn't an hardware problem!

yes i have all codecs possible installed but nothing!!

Was googling an found this thread in the SuSE Forums: http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.p … a-solution

I had the above message when I first installed openSuse and tried to play DVDs. I tried googling the above message, thinking that I was missing some software. It turned out that the message simply meant that it couldn't find the dvd. Messages such as
Cannot find plugin for MRL [cdda:/]
Cannot find plugin for MRL [dvd:/]
basically mean that SuSE is having problems finding a cd or dvd. This is most likely due to symbolic links for cdrom and/or dvd not being present.

Hope this helps
