[MPlayer-users] Can't play from IDE DVD on USB2 ?

[Diego Zuccato]

Hello.

I'm having troubles playing a DVD from an IDE combo (CD-RW + DVD reader)
drive attached to USB2.
The same reader, used as a standard device (hdc) works without problems.
All the other functions are ok when attached to USB2, just when trying
to play a DVD I get (I know it's a quite old version, but it does the
same on a newer on on another machine):

[ndk at amleto Shared]$ mplayer -v -dvd-device /dev/scd0 -dvd 2

(The key comes from the cache...)

Is it a problem of the SCSI emulation layer ?
Is a full bugreport needed ? I don't think it's an mplayer bug, since
xine (installed only to test if that was only an mplayer fault) can't
play it, too... but this ml have the fastest answers I've ever seen :-)
and at least you can tell me where to look.
Tks.

BYtE,
 Diego.
