Run lshw as root also.
I get this:
*-cdrom
description: DVD writer
product: CD/DVDW SH-W162Z
vendor: TSSTcorp
physical id: 0.0.0
bus info: scsi@1:0.0.0
logical name: /dev/cdrom
logical name: /dev/cdrw
logical name: /dev/dvd
logical name: /dev/dvdrw
logical name: /dev/scd0
logical name: /dev/sr0
version: TS00
capabilities: removable audio cd-r cd-rw dvd dvd-r
configuration: ansiversion=5 status=nodisc
If your system picks it up, from there it has to be configuration.
I've got the same problem. I've never had movies on a debian system,
but then again, I've never spent enough time to figure out why.
First steps so far, for me, was to go here:
http://debian-multimedia.org/
put the right entry into /etc/apt/sources.list
update, download the key, then do a 'safe-upgrade' with aptitude.
I think the site is going to be my main resource because the forums
for SMplayer and Xine are woeful.
In a past experience, I never got an answer from the xine mail list
and there were maybe three messages on it over a one month period and
I posted a question on the SMplayer forum a week ago and still no
answer there.
Anything I pick up I'll post as I go.
Regards,
Weaver.
