I have a usb-dvd it is detected OK at sr0 according to dmesg



mplayer dvd:// -dvd-device %d ... plays a DVD fine from optical menu so it is working. I cannot get xine to work though nor MPEG4 CD. I think this is cos the DVD needs to be setup properly. There is NO mount entry in the fstab at the moment so do I add one and WHERE is it best to mount it and do I then symlink /dev/cdrom & /dev/dvd to this etc etc

I note at the moment I have the following relevant files


I'm thinking is this what I want to do?

OK I have worked it out now. I needed to add this line to /etc/fstab for my usb dvd rom.

Then changed the /usr/local/bin/divx.sh script to

#!/bin/bash
mount /cdrom
/usr/bin/mplayer -monitoraspect 16:9 -ao alsa:device=digital -ac hwac3, -fs -zoom -vo xv -cache 8192 /cdrom/*
umount /cdrom

Now the KnoppMyth | MPEG4 CD plays my Divx DVD's in widescreen with digital audio.

I also then updated my .lircrc file so the remote will skip thru the playlist and do other handy mplayer commands
