DVD-ROM Setup Problems

LorKorub:
I am trying to play a movie..Donnie Brasco to be precise.  

I made a sym link from /dev/cdrom to /dev/dvd so ogle would be able to see it but still, nothing. Here is the error message I get:

I can't open it in Xine either.  In Xine, you have to mount the DVD first, but every time I try that I get the "No Medium Found" message.

pkd_lives:
That is very similar to the error I got with ogle. I vim as root the oglerc file (I forget exactly where it is, can post tonight when I get home to my machine). And about 15-20 lines down there is a line the states dev=/dev/dvd or close to that. I swapped that to /dev/cdrom and it played.

And just to be dumb here you do have libdvdcss and libdvdread installed (you get them at the ogle site) don't you? Just noticed there is a later version of libdvdcss. It's 1.2.2.

I haven't got to symlinks and things yet so I'm just editing at the source.

I think it's to do with the way especially earlier dvd players were designed as DVD/CDROM combo.

Both /dev/dvd and /dev/cdrom should be symbolic links to the drive.  In my case, /dev/hdb.
