"man mplayer" will bring up the man page for mplayer. You can find out more info about mplayer than you ever wanted to know.
What does ls -l /dev/dvd come back with?

When I try to playback eg. a dvd nothing happens (exept for the button flashing). I have installed the libdvdcss package, but the disc isn't encrypted anyway. The DVD-drive is installed as secondary master. Cd's playback very well. What could be wrong? Could it have something to do with symb links? |

Go into the setup and see what your command is to play a dvd. Now type that command into a terminal and observe the feedback. That could point you in the right direction. |

Do I need to mount anything when I want to play a dvd or vcd?? Myth is configured to search for discs in /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd (theese paths don't seem to exist) is that right when my dvd-drive is secondary master? If I type mplayer vcd:// -fs -zoom i get this output: MPlayer 0.92-3.3.2 (C) 2000-2003 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel Celeron A Mendocino/Pentium II Dixon (Family: 6, Stepping: 5) Detected cache-line size is 32 bytes CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 0 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 0 SSE2: 0 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 3DNow 3DNowEx SSE Reading config file /usr/local/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf: No such file or directory Reading config file /root/.mplayer/config Illegal instruction |

ok what kind of cpu do you have? usually the illegal instruction happens when you have the i686 compiled version of mplayer running on a cpu that does not have sse. about not having /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd that will pose a problem. no you don't have to mount anything to play dvd/cd, but the install is supposed to detect your dvd/cd drive and create appropriate simlinks to /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd |

Dohh.. I have an Intel Celeron 500 mhz. So I guess that is the problem. How do I change to i586? I have the 15.1 debs installed. |

Thanks a lot cesman. I untared, configured, made and installed mplayer. Now after also editing the vcd command by throwing away -fs and -vo xv (or what it was) I'm able to play vcd's. BTW what does theese paremeters that I now don't use? DVD's still won't play and I have installed the dvdcss. Heres my output (or part of it): mplayer dvd:// Playing dvd://. libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.5 for DVD access libdvdread: Could not open /dev/dvd with libdvdcss. libdvdread: Can't open /dev/dvd for reading Couldn't open DVD device: /dev/dvd Exiting... (End of file) |

Hmm.. It isn't so I changed the link to /dev/hdc (secondary master, right?). But I still get the same message from mplayer (when running it in an X-term). If I run mplayer through ssh I get this message: Playing dvd://. libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.5 for DVD access Reading disc structure, please wait... libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO. Can't open VMG info! |

Code: rm -fr /dev/dvd
ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/dvd This is normally done automatically for you... Did you let the script finish(script that runs after first reboot)? |

I think the reason that this link isn't set right is because that I tried to do something I read in another thread without knowing what I was doing.. But even after I've changed it back as you told me I still get the exact same error. |
