Hi,
I'm having some trouble diagnosing the cause of a problem
with xine in which it freezes at a particular point in several of
my dvd movies. (Titan A.E. and Stargate, if it matters...) I
suspect that it may be freezing at some point where the dvdrom
drive has to change media layers, though I am not positive.
(I am sending this to the plf list as I have only noticed this
on encrypted dvds, thus they use one of the plf plugin packages...)
When the crash occurs, I have to kill xine manually, and one process
remains in an un-killable state. This phantom process prevents
new instances of xine from being functional. Additionally, the
dvd drive becomes brain-dead, with the kernel reporting that the
device is not ready for the command. the following entries are
from /var/log/messages:

I'm more of a super-luser than a super-user, so if I can give more
information, tell me what data to provide, and it's all yours! :^)
