[Bug 468210] Re: Can't play dvd (no /dev/dvd available)

[Risto H. Kurppa]

Changed away from kaffeine, I think  udev is a better guess..

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: kaffeine
+ UPDATED DESCRIPTION:
+ ####################
+ I have two optical drives, a CD/RW drive and a DVD drive. 
  
- Kubuntu 9.10 with medibuntu, partners & backports activated, upgraded. I
- installed Kaffeine (as Dragonplayer's a bit limited..) to play DVD:s,
- but it won't work:
+ In /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules the CD/RW-drive is binded as
+ /dev/cdrw and /dev/cdrom in and the DVD-drive is binded as cdrom1 and
+ dvd1 - even though there's only one DVD drive. This causes programs, for
+ example Kaffeine, to fail play DVD's from the DVD drive.
+ 
+ So changing /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules to mount CDRW to
+ cdrw and cdrom1 and DVD to cdrom and dvd thigs started working again.
+ 
+ It think this has nothing to do with Kaffeine so I'll try to change the
+ description etc in this bug report respectively...

+ ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
+ ########################
+ Kubuntu 9.10 with medibuntu, partners & backports activated, upgraded. I installed Kaffeine (as Dragonplayer's a bit limited..) to play DVD:s, but it won't work:
  
  start kaffeine
  press 'play DVD'.
  stdout gives me:
  
  gs at utberg:/dev$ kaffeine
  gs at utberg:/dev$ libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 1.1.16.3 from http://xine.sf.net
  libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable.
  libdvdread: Can't stat /dev/dvd
  No such file or directory
  libdvdnav: vm: faild to open/read the DVD
  libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 1.1.16.3 from http://xine.sf.net
  libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable.
  libdvdread: Can't stat /dev/dvd
  No such file or directory
  libdvdnav: vm: faild to open/read the DVD
  
  and I get a popup telling me "Cannot find input plugin for MRL [dvd:/]"
  
  /dev/dvd doesn't exist. I can create it manually but it won't help much
  as I don't know how to make DVD appear there.. Also Kaffeine doesn't
  have the settings menu item there -> I don't know how to tell Xine to
  look for /dev/scd0..
