[gentoo-user] dvd playing problems

[meino.cramer]

Hi,

when playing dvds the movie gets stopped from time to time
and restarts itsself after a short oeriod of idle some frames
after the position where it halted.

I took a look into the log file and found this:


   hda: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
   hda: command error: error=0x50 { LastFailedSense=0x05 }
   hda: possibly failed opcode: 0xa0
   end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 13053192
   Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 3263298
   Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 3263299
   Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 3263300
   Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 3263301
   Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 3263302
   Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 3263303
   Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 3263304
   Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 3263305
   hda: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
   hda: command error: error=0x50 { LastFailedSense=0x05 }
   hda: possibly failed opcode: 0xa0
   end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 13053192
   Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 3263298
   Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 3263299
   hda: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
   hda: command error: error=0x50 { LastFailedSense=0x05 }
   hda: possibly failed opcode: 0xa0
   end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 13053192


Does this mean my drive is bad? The dvd itsself does not have any
visible scratches or something like that...

Or is it possible, that something below the application layer
and above the hardware layer has problems?

This symptom is noticeable with vlc as with mplayer.

Any hint/help is very appreciated. Thank you very much in advance!

It's either the drive or the disk.

I doubt it, but it depends on what you mean by "the hardware layer". 

The drive is reporting errors when it is trying to read the disk. I
suppose that could be due to buggy firmware in the optical drive
(which technically isn't a hardware failure).

Try to use PATA drivers better than olds ATA/IDE drivers. The drive
should be recognized as sr0 when it's well configured. An lspci -k may
help us.

HERE ! You use VIA_IDE which is very old driver from:
Device Drivers > ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support (DEPRECATED)
(Notice the big (DEPRECATED)).

You should use PATA_VIA from
Device Drivers -->
  <*>Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers -->
    <*> VIA PATA support

and uncheck
Device Drivers --->
  < > ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support (DEPRECATED)

using kernel menuconfig. Then compile and reboot to your newly compiled
kernel and now your dvd drive should be seen as /dev/sr0.

Since the IDE-interface is listed, I think the configuration is ok so
far...
But: There is no /dev/sr* and accordingly k3b does not find any burner
device (which is identical to the dvd-player device in my case...)

Rest of gentoo is up to date...

Where can I tweak more?

Good news!

Found the problem why /dev/sr0 does not appear myself: SCSI-CDROM and
SCSI-disk have to be enabled also!

Now...I will test, whether the hickups are still there...

I saw "Matrix Reloaded" again, the film, which...........
.........................................................got.....
some unesscassary pause.................s an,,,,,,,d hicku...p..s.
with the ol....d driv.e..r.

rwWith the new driver there were no hickups an stops again.
The only way to spend some confusion is to pause the film
intentionally by pressing the SPACEBAR (using vlc) wait a longer
time and start it again. Then the logic behind the spacebar needs
some extra rounds of thinking and reevaluation before entering the
matrix again :)

Send the 5$ to:....no I am joking!

Have a nice weekend soon!
Best regards,
mcc
