Hi
I've Been having a great time getting my Linux machine to play DVD's
with the Xine player and all has been going well until I wanted to play
an encrypted DVD. I have been able to get a copy of Xine that is
supposed to play them but the documentation says that i need to have
write access to the dvd drive device in order to play them.
I am using mandrake 8.1 which uses devfsd and have been able to get it
to load a link by adding the lines:
#added 25/11/01 for dvd player
LOOKUP ^dvd$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL symlink ./ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/cd
dvd $devpath
REGISTER ^./dvd$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL symlink
./ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/cd dvd
#UNREGISTER ^./dvd$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink dvd
but have been un able to modify the permissions with the following line:
REGISTER ^./dvd PERMISSIONS root.dvdusers 770
I have already created a new group dvdusers and intend to allow the
users to be in this group.
the main documentation that I have been using is man pages devfsd and
devfsd.conf. If anyone is aware of other docs I'd be happy to read them,
and If some one is successful in getting the encrypted DVD's to play on
MDK 8.1 I'd like to here how the did it.
I have included my devfsd.conf file below for comment
