[gentoo-user] xine problem

[James]

Hello,

Xine has worked for me in the past. It has been a few months
since I used it. Now it give these popup error messages:

- xine engine error

There is no input plugin available to handle dvd:/
Maybe MRL syntax is wrong or file/stream source doesn't exist


<second popup error>

The source can't be read.
Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't
contain data (e.g. not disc in drive). (/dev/dvd)

Well other players work just fine.....?
Permissions look fine on /dev/dvd:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Apr  5 22:33 /dev/dvd1 -> hda
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Apr  5 22:33 /dev/dvdrw1 -> hda


I didnot see anything at bugs.gentoo.org....


ideas?

Looking at the files you listed I guess /dev/dvd doesn't exist on your system.
You should probably try /dev/dvd1 or /dev/hda...

OK, I Noticed that too. I cannot find where I change, dvd to dvd1 or hda.....


Nothing under settings....


maybe there is a config file I can edit manually?

I cannot find any docs addressing how to change the DVD name/link/selection?
I never had to do anything, other than 'emerge xine' in the past
to use xine (used it for years) so HAL, dbus or kde4 must have changed
it in a upgrade over the last few months.....

I've also never tried that, but on my system there's ~/.xine/config which I 
would try to edit (there's a "media.dvd.device" line in it which looks like 
the right thing to change accordingly...).

There is an automatically generated file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd-rules.
If you have that file you might try deleting or moving it so the system will re-
generate it during the next reboot.

OK, I tried this and it did not solve the problem.
In fact, it made no difference.

As there are 2 cd/dvd drives.

Any specific recomendations on custom udev rules?
(I mostly stumble when trying udev rules on my
own....?
