[MPlayer-users] DVD on a LAN

[Peter Plantagenet]

> Did you try playing the DVD while NOT mounting it ?

Hi Sylvain --

I've tried that -- if I don't mount it, neither libdvdread nor mplayer finds 
anything. 

I do have the symlink /dev/dvd to /dev/hdc, and this works fine when I'm on the 
remote machine. But I can't get it to find the device when I'm not. I agree that 
if I could, I probably wouldn't have a problem.

If it's possible to define a DVD drive in such a way that programs running on a 
remote computer can see it even when it's not mounted, that would be great. Does 
anybody know if this is possible?

If it's not possible, I guess this means I have to rely on the "old method" of 
descrambling, which I haven't been able to get make work.

Cheers,
Peter
