[MPlayer-users] DVD on a LAN

[Peter Plantagenet]

Hi guys!

I've been trying to get MPlayer to play a DVD that's located on another 
computer, called plato. I'm connected to plato through a fast LAN, so there's no 
bitrate problem. The problems seems to be that libdvdread isn't able to detect 
the dvd. Mplayer still sees it fine, but it runs into the scrambled data. 

So the question is, why can't libdvdread see the drive? I've tried having it 
mounted and not mounted. The gory details:

The drive is actually located on /dev/hdc, as seen on bootup. In dev, there's a 
symlink pointing to /dev/hdc. I tried to define either of these as the default 
device for mplayer, but it doesn't see either. So I have to mount the DVD, which 
I do on /media/dvd. Now mplayer can read it, but libdvdread doesn't see it. 
Comprende?

I'm hoping you guys simply know the answer to this puzzle. If you don't, is the 
problem in libdvdread? Any suggestions for what can be done?

I append the relevant screen print below. Incidentally, I've tried to use libcss 
0.0.1 for authentication, but mplayer just sits there and doesn't get through.

Cheers,
Plantagenet
