Re: [gentoo-user] Playing Audio and DVD cds!!!
Hello Daniel, It now plays in all three players, the mplayer its self play very slow and gives issues so I am geting rid of it as it also IS not accessibile and if there is any one out there that is using it with a screenreader please come forth. So far xine plays both audio and dvds fine it appears. I can not get the totem to play audio cds or play with out being flaky please see totem posting. By the way I emerged latest versions of gst-plugins-base and that is what seems to get them to work to the degree it is. Now how do I get xine to play the stuff automatic I guess I will push my luck LOL? Thanks for your help!

OK, I have tryed this with mplayer, xine, cd player With cd player and mplayer I am unable to get the cd to play but it does show me the metadata for the cd (audio) With xine I can play the cd (audio) Man, something only look at the screen could explain. Wow, now, THAT is a problem, you can access it, but can't play it... Do you have an digital audio cable connecting your drive to your motherboard or audio card? Its a shot in the dark, but... > Emerge mplayer and: I have "emerged mplayer" > mplayer dvd:// what is this and where do I do this? From any console/terminal you just type it... > for example.

Rigtht now I don't care if there play auto or not but at a time I would like this. Well, I don't know much of gnome/had/dbus/automounter etc, but right now I would be happy if you were able to use those apps to lauch audio and DVDs. I guess your problem is configuration of the WM and maybe some dependency or whatever linked to the way the WM deals with the icons on the desktop. I am using Gnome that portage has of latest one I think, and x11 how do I do this and so on I am a very new users that had done this setup now over 5 times as I run in to one issue or entother? Well, no one ever said it would be easy ;) Ok, maybe someone did, but its a lie, each machine/configuration may have its own bugs/issues. Welcome to the place you know something is wrong and you can fix it somehow (in that "how" I don't include formatting/reinstalling or buying ugly and expensive software). Ok, let me gather some more info. When you play it with xine you see no errors right? When trying to play it with xmms or mplayer, what you get? Does the timer goes as it is playing and no sound, does it freezes, it simply do nothing? > You DO NOT MOUNT audio CDs, that would probably return an error and/or > block the device for direct reading (in the case of a DVD). I tryed this as a test to see if that was the issue and it did not help so I rebooted after it You don't have to, just umount it and/or exit the app that you used to do it. Not rebooting after every software install was one of the reasons I left the world of windows. -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?

Re: [gentoo-user] Playing Audio and DVD cds!!!
Hello Daniel, He mentioned an error that happens when he click the Gnome (or KDE, can't remember) icon at the desktop. Not something he typed... Thanks for pointing that out! Try simply NOT USING the icon, and using an application direcly. OK, I have tryed this with mplayer, xine, cd player With cd player and mplayer I am unable to get the cd to play but it does show me the metadata for the cd (audio) With xine I can play the cd (audio) Emerge mplayer and: I have "emerged mplayer" mplayer dvd:// what is this and where do I do this? for example. Try XMMS to play audio CDs. Have you tried just playing them with the app? See above for this response Or are you still wanting them to be played automagically? Rigtht now I don't care if there play auto or not but at a time I would like this. I guess your problem is configuration of the WM and maybe some dependency or whatever linked to the way the WM deals with the icons on the desktop. I am using Gnome that portage has of latest one I think, and x11 how do I do this and so on I am a very new users that had done this setup now over 5 times as I run in to one issue or entother? You DO NOT MOUNT audio CDs, that would probably return an error and/or block the device for direct reading (in the case of a DVD). I tryed this as a test to see if that was the issue and it did not help so I rebooted after it Sincerely, Christopher -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
