-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 In order to play dvds on my ide dvd player I am told I have to load ide-scsi module and link /dev/dvd to the device that represents. How can I find out which device that is?
My dvd rom device is hdd - as shown here kanger:/proc/ide/ide1/hdd# more model Pioneer DVD-ROM ATAPIModel DVD-104S 020 I have added append hdd=ide-scsi in my lilo config and this module is definately loaded. If I look in /proc/scsi there is a subdirectory called ide-scsi and a single file in it named "1" with the following text "SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices". On my system I have a real scsi bus with a cd writer on it, plus a usb smart media reader. When I look in the file /proc/scsi/scsi it lists these two but NOT the ide-scsi device - thus [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/proc/scsi$ more scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00 Vendor: TEAC Model: CD-R55S Rev: 1.0J Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi2 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: eUSB Model: SmartMedia Rev: 5.04 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 I tried linking /dev/dvd to /dev/scd1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/proc/scsi$ ls -l /dev/scd1 /dev/dvd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Apr 5 08:19 /dev/dvd -> scd1 brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 11, 1 Mar 14 2002 /dev/scd1 But when I then try with (eg) mplayer it fails to open the device Playing DVD title 1 libdvdcss error: failed opening device libdvdread: Can't open /dev/dvd for reading. Couldn't open DVD device: /dev/dvd For what its worth, trying to get mplayer to read /dev/hdd directly also fails (which was why I was advised to link /dev/dvd to the ide-scsi device in the first place) Reading disc structure, please wait... libdvdread: Can't seek to block 256 libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO. I'm stumped. Can anyone help me - -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+jojtuFHxcV2FFoIRAtOMAJwIf82MdkBwkG/vpwFcGIicO149rwCeJABd AXQ7eT423kD/TsyiwBjR6ZY= =WPza -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
