[MPlayer-users] VCDs, FreeBSD and SCSI CDROM, no play

[Anssi Saari]

I noticed I can't play VCDs on SCSI cdroms on my FreeBSD system. I'm not
sure if it has ever worked, since usually VCDs are for the DVD player
in the living room...

It seems, from the mplayer -v output, that setting the blocksize to 2352
fails due to maybe wrong ioctl and then the kernel complains with

/kernel: dscheck(#cd/0): b_bcount 2352 is not on a sector boundary (ssize 2048)

type of messages. I don't know, maybe I lack something in the kernel,
I just don't know what.

Same disk works in same drive in Linux and also works in my ATAPI drive in FreeBSD.
