I have no problems with watching dvds via vlc on my pismo (they're choppy though, but they just are and I have to cope with it).
> libdvdread: Attempting to use device /dev/hda14 mounted on / for CSS authentication > libdvdread: Could not open input: Permission denied > libdvdread: Can't open /dev/hda14 for reading > libdvdread: Device /dev/hda14 inaccessible, CSS authentication not available. > libdvdnav: Can't read name block. Probably not a DVD-ROM device. Uh... are you trying to play from a hdd partition? And a mounted one? What is your dvd device? Link your dvd drive to /dev/dvd by: ln -s /dev/hd[x] /dev/dvd (from root account). And I see you're trying to do it from a user account. Make sure the user has access to what he's trying to read. Do: ls -l /dev/hd[x] where [x] is your right (as in right or wrong, not right or left ;) dvd device. /dev/hda is first channel(primary) master drive, hdb is primary slave, hdc is secondary master, etc... The command will show you to which group this device belongs to, like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ls -l /dev/hdc brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 0 2004-08-10 21:29 /dev/hdc So you would have to add your user to the disk group. Check the groups you belong to, like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ groups users adm disk wheel ttyS proc audio video cdwrite console And then add your user to the group by editing /etc/group (from root account), or by: usermod -G [comma-separated list of your current groups],disk caleb (also as root). Can you record cds/dvds on that drive? hope that helps, owczi And I'm sorry if I was explaining things like to a kid, but I just do it this way to avoid doubts. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
