[MPlayer-users] Problems when changing the default cdrom device (was: MPlayer and Debian Sarge)

[Rodolfo Medina]

Hi, mplayer listers.

I have a dvd reader/writer and also a cd reader, so I wish to watch dvd's
with my dvd device and listen to audio cdrom's with my cd device.
But, if I try to start mplayer with a different value for the cdrom device
(/dev/hdb in place of the default /dev/hdc), with:

 $ mplayer -cdrom-device /dev/hdd cdda://

, I get the following:


MPlayer 1.0pre8-3.3.5 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team
CPU: Intel Celeron 2/Pentium III Coppermine,Geyserville (Family: 6, Model: 8, Stepping: 10)

Failed to open /dev/rtc: Permission denied (it should be readable by the user.)

Playing cdda://.
Can't open CDDA device.

. Then, as suggested, I made /dev/rtc readable by the user:



# ls -l /dev/rtc
crw-rw----  1 root root 10, 135 2005-02-26 07:43 /dev/rtc
# chmod 777 /dev/rtc
# ls -l /dev/rtc
crwxrwxrwx  1 root root 10, 135 2005-02-26 07:43 /dev/rtc



and tried again, but:



$ mplayer -cdrom-device /dev/hdb cdda://

I'm stuck here, needing help...
