[MPlayer-users] DVD playback: ILLEGAL REQUEST and could not open device

[Russell Packer]

Hi all,

I've hunted high and low through all the manuals, the faq, and the
wonderful world of google, but can't seem to get mplayer to play my
DVDs!

I'm using Slackware 10, and have the following DVD writer:

Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: _NEC     Model: DVD_RW ND-2510A  Rev: 2.15
  Type:   CD-ROM                           ANSI SCSI revision: 02

The error messages I get:

Playing dvd://1.
libdvdread: Could not open device with libdvdcss.
libdvdread: Can't open /dev/dvd for reading
Couldn't open DVD device: /dev/dvd

And in the syslog I get:

kernel: sr0: CDROM (ioctl) reports ILLEGAL REQUEST.


I have /dev/dvd linked to /dev/sr0, and the DVD plays back OK in xine.


Any ideas, as I'm stumped...

Thanks!
