This looks like mplayer is accessing the drive, but
cannot play the file. A missing codec error should
look different.



 I have tried different movies and get similar results :(

So you can exclude media error.

Maybe this diagnostic script from my outbox can
help you to track down the error. It has been made
on 7-STABLE i386 with mplayer-0.99.11_3 - a quite
old system. See if the steps described here can be
reproduced on your system in a similar way.

Here's an example of my THX 1138 movie DVD:

Step 1: Identify media

% cdcontrol info
Starting track = 1, ending track = 1, TOC size = 18 bytes
track start  duration   block  length   type
-
1   0:02.00  206:28.68   0  929168   data
  170  206:30.68 -  929168   -  -

Step 2: Identify file system

% file -  /dev/acd0
/dev/stdin: UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) 'THX_1138'

Step 3: Mount file system and check content

% sudo mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/acd0 /mnt

you should be ABLE to mount a DVD. If this causes the
system to reboot, find out what's causing this. Maybe
a defective drive? Can you check with different drive?

It's the same problem as in your previous description, and
I assume that is has nothing to do with codecs. In combination
with the inability of mounting DVDs (which should work),
there may be a SERIOUS problem hiding in the background.

Have you been able to perform the first steps of my
checklist, i. e. the cdcontrol and media identification
part?



 I have to blame mplayer or is it FreeBSD? 

I think it's the hardware - your description of rebooting
when trying to mount lets me think into this direction.

Try to find out the reason. Work with AS FEW variables
as possible, i. e. start with plain simple tests as
I mentioned them. If you get THAT done without error,
the problem is somewhere else.

Another thing: Can you check device permissions for
the acd* devices, as well as for cd* and xpt* if you're
using ATAPICAM? Just to make sure and MINIMIZE the
variables involved in this diagnostic process.



 The movie is good, it plays
 on my other FreeBSD box, is something wrong or should I try to go for
 vlc?

Well, VLC isn't bad, although I really prefer mplayer
as I'm using it since the earliest days. But I doubt
VLC will play without the codecs (that are, as far as
I understood, an independent part and port).

This is on mt TODO list, I was going to try and swap another dvd drive
(SATA) which is my suspicion :(

 I think it's the hardware - your description of rebooting

I'd think I'd have to agree :(, the damn dvd drive, it is new but old
IDE does not work as well as SATA.

I have a /etc/devfs.conf file with the following:

VLC did not play the dvds either, took a while to compile it(for
troubleshooting this dvd problem).  I like both players just to be
honest.

I have a similar amd64 machine that does play mostly everything in it,
but I installed mplayer differently
# pkg_add -r mplayer

** had problems with KDE and lib???.so not working and startx refused
to work, last time I used ports. But this time everything is working
beautifully have installed gkrellm, mplayer, vlc and texmaker fine via
ports.  I am getting some confidence back.

*However* that machine has SATA cables not IDE like this one, this is
my take on the issue.  If  i install/try a SATA dvd drive, it will
work*

Thanks for helping/advising.

Regards,

Antonio

Cross-testing would always be good - especially as you've
mentioned an impossible behaviour, i. e. mounting a DVD
causes a system reboot.



 I'd think I'd have to agree :(, the damn dvd drive, it is new but old
 IDE does not work as well as SATA.

I can't confirm that. In my machine which is more than
7 years old now, I'm using (P)ATA / ATAPI stuff only
(because it doesn't have any SATA inside), and it keeps
working as intended. Still it may be possible that
modern hardware doesn't play that good anymore. :-)

If possible, just try a different DVD drive, as you've
eleminated the reason bad DVD already.



 I have a /etc/devfs.conf file with the following:
 
 # Commonly used by many ports
 linkacd0cdrom
 linkacd0dvd
 
 # Allow all users to access CD’s
 perm /dev/acd0 0666
 perm /dev/acd1 0666
 perm /dev/cd0 0666
 perm /dev/cd1 0666
 
 # Allow all USB Devices to be mounted
 perm /dev/da0 0666
 perm /dev/da1 0666
 perm /dev/da2 0666
 perm /dev/da3 0666
 perm /dev/da4 0666
 
 # Misc other devices
 perm /dev/pass0 0666
 perm /dev/xpt0 0666
 perm /dev/agpart 0666
 perm /dev/uscanner0 0666

Fully okay. So the reason wrong permissions is also out
of scope now.



 VLC did not play the dvds either, took a while to compile it(for
 troubleshooting this dvd problem).  I like both players just to be
 honest.

I really think it's the drive. Also make sure that the
codecs are installed. If you're on x64, try to use the
COMPAT32 facility. As I'm not owning x64 at home, I sadly
can't be more specific about this idea.



 I have a similar amd64 machine that does play mostly everything in it,
 but I installed mplayer differently
 # pkg_add -r mplayer

This installs mplayer with the default options which may
not be optimal in some situations, especially if it's
illegal in one's country to watch DVDs. :-)



 ** had problems with KDE and lib???.so not working and startx refused
 to work, last time I used ports.

I always use ports for this. Although I'm a big fan of
precompiled packages, mplayer and gmencoder are the tools
I *insist* on building from source, both with a custom
Makefile.local that defines ALL the codecs I want, which
is _all_ of them. :-)



 *However* that machine has SATA cables not IDE like this one, this is
 my take on the issue.  If  i install/try a SATA dvd drive, it will
 work*

Really, try a different drive, and if you can, also try
different cables, just to make sure it's NOT the cables
causing trouble.

2011-04-20 Thread Antonio Olivares
 This MAY be a codec problem. You can try the following:
 First mount the DVD (cd_9660), then use mplayer on one
 of the VOB files directly. Choose one of the bigger
 files for this test, and maybe use mplayer's -v option
 to get an idea what may be wrong - the program should
 tell you about this.

 Apparently it works, but I put in some small speakers, but could not

 On some machines, speakers do not activate automatically,
 they need a driver that switches the connector to active.
 Also check mixer settings. ALWAYS check them. :-)



 Installed mplayer from within ports,
 # cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer
 # make install clean
 and tried to play some mp3's and got a codec error :(, since machine
 is 64 bit installing codecs from mplayer site does not work :(, and
 linux compatibility is not installed.

 Use command line tools like madplay or mpg123 for testing.
 Also consider using xmms as a versatile MP3 (and OGG/Vorbis)
 media player.

Mplayer played some ogg files that I had correctly and sound is working :)

snd_hda did the trick :)


 Sorry for drifting out of
 original sound problem, but I also tried to play a dvd and it failed
 to load since atapi cam was not  in /boot/loader.conf because cd/dvd
 drive is old style(not SATA)

This is now working correctly :), added the command in /boot/loader.conf

 That doesn't matter. I have parallel ATA devices here that
 play nicely with ATAPICAM (mainly in use for CD and DVD
 recording). But you shouldn't need to have ATAPICAM in order
 to play DVDs. I know that mplayer has a configuration option
 for that... maybe it's sufficient to link /dev/acd0 to /dev/dvd

link exists /dev/dvd - /dev/acd0
but dvd does not play :(

 (per /etc/devfs.conf) to provide the default location, or
 use -dvd-device dev to name it on the command line. Also
 make sure you have the required codecs installed.
Since the machine is 64 bit having the codecs does no good :(, I ran
the configuration and tried to install Realplayer which tried to pull
linux compatibility which I did not want and reran config.
 Going
 through make config in mplayer (or mencoder) is always
 a good choice.


However, playing dvd's does not seem to work :(
I try to run
$ mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /dev/acd0
and it complains about not finding some vob
Sorry for not posting exact error will do so tomorrow as soon as I can.

You can try to use the 32 bit compatibility (COMPAT32)
and then run the 32 bit version of mplayer. As I do not
own a 64 bit system, I can't be more specific.

Hi Antonio

Think you'll find it's a hda device...

add snd_hda_load=YES to /boot/loader.conf and it should be loaded next
time you boot the machine.

If your not getting any sound, you might have to change the
hw.snd.default_auto sysctl to match your other inputs.

Regards

 Hi Antonio

 Think you'll find it's a hda device...

 add snd_hda_load=YES to /boot/loader.conf and it should be loaded next
 time you boot the machine.

 If your not getting any sound, you might have to change the
 hw.snd.default_auto sysctl to match your other inputs.

Thanks Craig,

Apparently it works, but I put in some small speakers, but could not
get music to play.  Installed mplayer from within ports,
# cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer
# make install clean
and tried to play some mp3's and got a codec error :(, since machine
is 64 bit installing codecs from mplayer site does not work :(, and
linux compatibility is not installed. Sorry for drifting out of
original sound problem, but I also tried to play a dvd and it failed
to load since atapi cam was not  in /boot/loader.conf because cd/dvd
drive is old style(not SATA)

18.6.9 Using the ATAPI/CAM Driver
Contributed by Marc Fonvieille.

This driver allows ATAPI devices (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD drives etc...) to
be accessed through the SCSI subsystem, and so allows the use of
applications like sysutils/cdrdao or cdrecord(1).

To use this driver, you will need to add the following line to the
/boot/loader.conf file:

NEEDED to add
atapicam_load=YES
to /boot/loader.conf

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-cds.html

have added this to machine and will check tomorrow to see if sound is
output by machine.  Thanks for helping/advising.

Regards,

Antonio

On some machines, speakers do not activate automatically,
they need a driver that switches the connector to active.
Also check mixer settings. ALWAYS check them. :-)

Use command line tools like madplay or mpg123 for testing.
Also consider using xmms as a versatile MP3 (and OGG/Vorbis)
media player.

That doesn't matter. I have parallel ATA devices here that
play nicely with ATAPICAM (mainly in use for CD and DVD
recording). But you shouldn't need to have ATAPICAM in order
to play DVDs. I know that mplayer has a configuration option
for that... maybe it's sufficient to link /dev/acd0 to /dev/dvd
(per /etc/devfs.conf) to provide the default location, or
use -dvd-device dev to name it on the command line. Also
make sure you have the required codecs installed. Going
through make config in mplayer (or mencoder) is always
a good choice.
