Okay, I see. Well, Since it seems that since we can only speculate what might have been the problem, we cannot really identify if or what the problem in the xine package is, nor how it can be fixed. I'm therefore invalidating this bug. If you disagree feel free to reopen this bug with additional information what the bug actually is. Nevertheless, thanks for your interest in improving ubuntu! status invalid -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- Cannot play DVD through xine-backed players in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/179510 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 179510] Re: Cannot play DVD through xine-backed players in Hardy
Changed "device used for DVD playback" and "raw device setup for DVD access" from /dev/scd0 to /dev/dvd (media tab) Also changed "directory a media in DVD drive will be mounted" (gui tab). I honestly don't remember seeing this setting last year so perhaps its something added since then? After making changes closed xine and restarted it. Clicked on DVD button on xine-gui and DVD plays. Perhaps its wasn't intentional but you used the word "upgrade" in your previous comment. I don't upgrade my system. I have separate partitions on my system so when I move up/down to a new version of Ubuntu I also reformat all my partitions, but /home, /home/photos and /home/parallels and do a fresh install, so I'm not going from version X to version Y. When I referred to updating I was talking about applying all the daily patches to programs issued during the alpha stages. As I read my original bug report it looks like the DVD drive in the system used to be labeled /dev/cdrom0. I'm wondering if they referred to the CD/DVD device in Gutsy as /dev/cdrom0, but then in Hardy Alpha1 moved on to calling it /dev/dvd, and xine didn't detect that, or there wasn't a symlink added at that point on the Alpha, which caused the problem at that point. Good night/morning. Its 2:15a and I've got to go to sleep.

Robert, can you please check your /dev/dvd symlink? does it correctly point to /dev/scd0 or something else? -- Cannot play DVD through xine-backed players in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/179510 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 179510] Re: Cannot play DVD through xine-backed players in Hardy
Hi Reinhard, Quick note. The link you gave us in launchpad is busted. Its coming up Page Not Found. But to answer your question, I'm not sure we are talking the same bug. In my circumstance it was an all or nothing proposition. NO DVDs played until I changed the settings in xine to /dev/scd0. Since reporting that bug I've moved on to Intrepid Ibex, and my setting is /dev/scd0. I honestly, can't remember if I made the change manually, or whether it detected it out the door as this was a fresh install a few months ago. I would suggest Oscar make sure that HIS dvd is actually /dev/scd0 and not some other device. If it were the latter it certainly would keep giving him that error.

[Bug 179510] Re: Cannot play DVD through xine-backed players in Hardy
I can confirm this behaviour in Gutsy (upgraded from Feisty), using gxine. Changing device used for playback, as mentioned above doesn't change anything for me. Still getting "No input plugin was found. Maybe the file does not exist or cannot be accessed, or there is an error in the URL.", and then "Read error from: /dev/scd0". The weird thing is that this seems to happen only for some DVDs. In particular, I'm seeing this for a custom made DVD, while a commercial one works with no problems. -- Cannot play DVD through xine-backed players in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/179510 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 179510] Re: Cannot play DVD through xine-backed players in Hardy
Workaround: In xine, change the "device used for DVD playback" and "raw device setup for DVD access" from /dev/dvd to /dev/scd0. This allowed DVD playback and eliminated the error msg I was receiving through xine. (I have GStreamer version of Totem installed, or I'd test it there.) -- Cannot play DVD through xine-backed players in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/179510 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
