libdvdread: Could not open device with libdvdcss.
What is the DVD region code you want to play, for Mplayer I think should play all kind of region with no problem. Check your DVD drive, because if you use it in Windowz , it will lock the region code after 4 times change playing 4 different kind of region code of DVD Movie.
Maybe I,m wrong too... CMIIW

Hi,Pradep, I've not been following this thread so if I repeat something already asked I apologize.
I am still not able to play DVDs. I can play audio CDs / VCDs in that drive, work fine. but get error, while playing DVD.
when I try to play DVD through mplayer GUI, click on open Disc, it shows
reading the DVD for 5-6 seconds (light blinking), then gives error
'Can't play /dev/dvd'.
Did you do (as root) a "ln -s /dev/<devicename> /dev/dvd"? In my case, since I use SCSI it would be:
ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/dvd
on an IDE system, it would look something like:
ln -s /dev/hdb (or hdc or hdd) /dev/dvd
Also, did you add your user to the cdrom or cdwriter group(s)?
One more thing, what about permissions? Here I had to do a:
chmod a+r /mnt/cdrom chmod a+rx /dev/scd0 (that would be hdb, hdc, or hdd on IDE).
when I do ln -l /dev/dvd
[EMAIL PROTECTED] psethi]# ls -l /dev/dvd lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 30 Jun 17 07:36 /dev/dvd -> ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd
I would guess, this config is correct, as I can play audio CDs and VCDs in this drive, works fine.
Done :
[EMAIL PROTECTED] psethi]# chmod a+r /mnt/cdrom
[EMAIL PROTECTED] psethi]# chmod a+rx /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd
Then I try gmplayer, still getting the same error :(
Output : --------------------- Playing /dev/dvd libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.6 for DVD access libdvdread: Could not open device with libdvdcss. libdvdread: Can't open /dev/dvd for reading Couldn't open DVD device: /dev/dvd ---------------------
pls help.
Thanks in Advance
